Paper On 29 December 2016, UCCA welcomes renowned Japanese designer Kenya Hara to deliver a talk entitled “Paper · Culture,” exploring the aesthetic subtleties of this everyday material.

The core of Kenya Hara’s design practice is an interest in transforming the inherent qualities of everyday objects into cultural experiences. Paper is not merely a medium for disseminating information; it is also a testament to mankind’s technological development throughout the history of civilization. Following rapid developments in contemporary printing, paper’s distinctive materiality has become a source of inspiration for many creative practitioners today.

With its focus on the intersection of paper, design, and technology, Takeo Co., Ltd has worked with Kenya Hara for over 30 years. “Subtle,” the 47th Takeo Paper Show held in 2014, marks their latest collaboration. In this talk, Hara offers his perspective on the many facets of paper in contemporary culture from technology to design, exploring the sensorial world of this delicate material.
