这是一个大开本的书籍，揭秘了日本设计工作社Nendo的独特创作过程以及研究了它的一些经典作品。

他将公司命名为“Nendo”，日语中模型粘土的意思。他用漫画般的草图来阐述他的设计理念。他创造了一些世界上最有想象力的家具。在任何时刻，他都有数百个项目正在进行中，不论是建筑、室内、家具、餐具等等。他说，”没有社么是我不会设计的。” 他就是Oki Sato，日本最多产的设计师之一。

Oki Sato以非凡的概念清晰度呈现他的设计。一开始，他完全的让他的想象力带领他的设计。接着，开始用白纸黑线的画图来记录他的想法—不论是由单个陶瓷漩涡的洗手盆还是一双能卷在一起的筷子。这些2D的图像会被转变成3D的模型，总是用简单干净的轮廓和大部分单色色调的形象呈现。就像传统的日本水墨画一样，只需要几笔即可构建图像，Oki Sato从不使用任何不必要的细节或设计去干扰他的初衷想法。

这本书呈现了Oki Sato的原创草图、全尺寸产品图片以及说明文字，揭示和解开了这位大师的独特创作过程，并分享了他50见无与伦比的作品背后的故事。我们进入Nendo的宇宙，发现Oki Sato如何实用他的设计来扭转我们如何观察周围并与身边的东西互动。他模糊了设计与艺术的界限，高度重视实用细节和环境影响。
