Louis Kahn
Louis I. Kahn (1901–1974) was one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century. Born in Estonia and raised in Philadelphia, Kahn developed a distinctive architectural language characterised by monumental, monolithic forms, material expression, and a profound engagement with the relationship between light, space and form. His work continues to influence architectural education and practice worldwide.
These publications by Michael Merrill and Sue Ann Kahn offer readers the opportunity to engage directly with the ideas and creative process behind his work. Drawing on his sketches, notebooks, and built and unrealized projects, they reveal Kahn as an extraordinary architect, thinker and draughtsman, offering visually rich, critically appraised contributions to scholarship on Kahn.
Kenya Hara
Kenya Hara (born 1958, Okayama) is one of Japan’s most influential designers and the author of widely translated writings on design. Best known as art director of MUJI, Hara has helped shape a global design language grounded in reduction, clarity and attention to the ordinary. Across his work as a designer, writer, curator and educator, he demonstrates how design can alter the way we understand and experience the world.
Hara has produced a remarkable collection of books, including Designing Design (2007), White (2009), Ex-formation (2015), Designing Japan: A Future Built on Aesthetics (2019), 100 Whites (2019), Cleaning (2023) and Draw (2025). This selection brings together illustrated essays, sketches and visual studies from across his career, alongside a dedicated Kenya Hara book bundle.
Jasper Morrison
Jasper Morrison (born 1959, London) is one of the most influential product designers of his generation, known for an approach that finds beauty in the ordinary. Based between London, Paris and Tokyo, he has designed furniture, lighting, electronics, tableware and everyday objects for leading international manufacturers, guided by a focus on simplicity and functionality. His relevance lies not only in the objects he has designed, but in the clarity of his position: design as careful observation, not novelty for its own sake.
Alongside his design practice, Morrison has published a significant body of books, including Everything but the Walls (2006), A World Without Words (2012), The Good Life (2014), The Hard Life (2017), Super Normal (2007, co-author), A Way of Life (2023, contributor) and A Book of Things (2025). These publications offer compelling observations on contemporary design, including his own design philosophy, articulated through a precise, lucid writing style.
