DEROLL Commissions Series 2 : Japanese history from Kazuhiro Kita on Vimeo.

@btf (Chuo-ku, Katsudoki) is pleased to present Hairstyle Mirror Shimizu Hisakazu, an exhibition of works by industrial/product designer Hisakazu Shimizu and design director Eizo Okada, from January 22 through February 28, 2010.

Shimizu's giant, seemingly deformed mirror in the shape of Ii Naosuke's hairstyle stole the show at the DEROLL Commission Series 2 "Japanese History" exhibition, directed by Okada, in the autumn of 2008. The two teamed up once again to create new works for the "hairstyle" series. The exhibition features 11 new works, including 3 pieces commissioned by the well-established Gallerie Downtown in Paris, which has handled the works of such renowned designers as Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé, and Ron Arad. A commemorative exhibition catalog as well as a number of limited edition products will also be available for purchase. Additionally, Mssrs. Shimizu and Okada will be participating in a special talk show on Saturday, February 6, to discuss the new works. This exhibition will provide the first chance to experience the newest works of global designer Hisakazu Shimizu.
