Wondering where on earth ‘design’ is gone, I looked for some elements of it. What I found are jostling objects placed on each of small exhibition-board of the size of １２００×１２００. You can guess what kind of crowds there if you know that each of these exhibits has someone related with it. If I try to see each of these exhibits carefully, I may find good ones there. The way of their being exhibited, however, cannot help making them the confusion of miscellaneous items. The group of designers Mr. Motomi Kawakami selected has a certain degree of quality but it’s absolutely impossible for all of them to have an identical concept in their design works. Naturally I cannot see any consistent assertion expressed by them as a whole, which, I believe, is a quite expected impression.

This condition is similar to that of houses for sale in the suburbs of Tokyo. Each house is shown for sale on a finely divided land, that is, in other word, its exhibition space. Those items there are nothing other than the products created by ‘developers’.

I don’t think each designer can express his or her own assertion on the divided land like this.
I wanted to feel something consistent which dies hard through the history of Satellite.　I sincerely wished something Japanese designers assert to the world were found there.

What I felt there, looking at these small items was, disappointedly only sadness.
