The Workspaces of Creators — 25 Design Giants is a collection of in-depth interviews with leading figures from the worlds of design, art, architecture, fashion, and industry. Originally published as a long-running interview series in Design News magazine between 1998 and 2003, the book brings together six years of conversations conducted by Ichirō Sayama, a pioneer of the interview format in Japanese design journalism.

Through incisive dialogue, the book explores each creator’s working environment, creative attitude, professional trajectory, and relationship between design practice and society. Featuring voices ranging from industrial and graphic designers to artists, photographers, musicians, and business leaders, the volume offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how some of Japan’s most influential creative figures think, work, and shape contemporary culture.
