    I announced a while back that I was going to be involved with the MoCo network of sites, and today marks the launch of MoCo Tokyo, a guide to modern contemporary design in Tokyo.

    Designboom has an interview up with designer Tokujin Yoshioka. I quite like his work on the Muji/Infill installation. But then again, you all know that I’m hopelessly addicted to Muji design. I even bought a toothbrush from there today. Link via Dezain.net.

    I’m taking a breather at the Apple Store in Ginza (the new iMac looks even better up close), coming from this month’s exhibition at the Ginza Graphic Gallery: Graphic Wave 2004, featuring the works of Kudo Aoshi, GRAPH, and Namaiki. Autumn brings the annual Graphic Wave exhibition to the Ginza Graphic Gallery, this year under…
