Ginza Graphic Gallery Catalogue

Ian Anderson / The Designers Republic C ( H—ome ) +81 / 3 ( aka TDR Come Home To Tokyo ) Ginza Graphic Gallery Catalogue (2011)

Having been 'Big In Japan’ all over the OG Y2K, TDR’s first major show in Tokyo was spread across two repurposed / restructured floor spaces at Dai Nippon’s prestigious Ginza Graphic Gallery in Tokyo. This 64pp full colour A5 hardback publication from Dai Nippon was designed to accompany the show. It doesn’t mirror the show directly but features 57 works more or sometimes less directly related to work for or influenced by Japan (the country not the band) and TDR’s clients there. It includes an intro essay by IDEA Magazine’s Kiyonori Muroga.

For years we had our fancy Bose speakers propped up and angled on cardboard boxes. When we replaced the speakers we realised the boxes actually had our ‘lost’ catalogues unopened in them… there’s 10 on offer. Then they’re gone forever.
