21_21 DESIGN SIGHT presents Learning from Design Maestros, an exhibition directed by Noriko Kawakami and Kaoru Tashiro that reflects on six visionary figures whose ideas continue to shape the way we think about design and life: Bruno Munari, Max Bill, Achille Castiglioni, Otl Aicher, Enzo Mari, and Dieter Rams.

Through films, archival materials, and key works, the exhibition reveals how these designers fused creativity, teaching, and social awareness to redefine their disciplines. It also highlights the perspective of Shutaro Mukai, whose friendships with Bill and Aicher helped establish Japan’s Science of Design.

By revisiting these masters’ lessons in an era of rapid change, the exhibition invites visitors to consider how design remains a vital means of understanding and shaping the world.
