Oki Sato has created a new book that’s for kids-- and kids at heart

If you’re little one is already making his or her Legos into Gehry-style masterpieces, this new book by Nendo’s Oki Sato might be a wise investment. Sato’s first picture book, What’s a cup?, is a story is about a cup that notices a spoon is missing to stir the coffee, and tries to solve the problem by changing itself into different forms. The plot of the book recognises the little inconveniences in our everyday lives, and how we can find solutions.

The book is available at Amazon.
