Taku Satoh on packaging design
Entrenching Itself on the International Design Calendar/Recorded 2006
A close reading, kept within reach.
Taku Satoh takes product design as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Japan in 2006, the conversation is grounded in Taku's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Taku Satoh talks about retaining packaging design elements that characterise a product.
