In 2009, he held an exhibition with photographer Tamotsu Fujii entitled "The Outline: The Unseen Outline of Things" at 21_21 Design Sight, and published a book of the same title (Hachette Fujingaho 2009). He has also authored "An Outline of Design" (Toto Shuppan); a compilation of his works in "Naoto Fukasawa" (Plaidon 2007); and co-authored "Super Normal" with Jasper Morrison (Lars Müller Publishers 2007).
