Isao Hosoe. The Trickster of Design celebrates the designer who saw the trickster as the true spirit of creativity - a figure who breaks rules, defies limits, and sparks innovation through play and curiosity. Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the ADI Design Museum (autumn 2025), the book presents Hosoe’s iconic works - from the Hebi lamp to the 4632 ashtray - alongside sketches, notes, and reflections that reveal his poetic design process. Structured as two notebooks, it offers a dual journey into Hosoe’s inventive world, enriched by contributions from collaborators and scholars.
