Mai Tsunoo / Design Writer

After graduating from Keio University's Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, she worked at a manufacturing company before becoming an assistant to design engineer Shunji Yamanaka from 2012 to 2016. After spending a year in Scotland, she is now working as a freelancer.
While searching for ways to freely express what needs to be communicated, she writes for media outlets such as "Nikkei Design" and handles the layout and copywriting for exhibitions.
Her major works include the layout for the 70th anniversary exhibition of the University of Tokyo's Institute of Industrial Science "Perhaps in the Future: Engineering × Design" (National Art Center, Tokyo · 2018), and text writing for "Insects: Models for Design" (21_21 DESIGN SIGHT, 2019).

Starting March 29, the planned exhibition 'Future Elements: Experimental Laboratory for Prototyping in Science and Design' has begun at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT in Roppongi. This exhibition, directed by my mentor Shunji Yamanaka, features works born out of collaborations between scientists and designers (or artists), and I myself am also involved in text and planning cooperation.
I'm writing this now during the installment period, where sounds of material cutting echo on the site, cutting sheets are being pasted on the walls, and prototypes are steadily being installed. Though I've worked on various exhibitions, the pleasant tension during preparations and the solidarity of the field never fail to leave me fond memories.
The focus of this exhibition is the prototypes created through collaborations between the Yamanaka Lab and a variety of researchers. Additionally, seven new groups of creators have been invited to scatter various 'fragments of the future' throughout.
