YELLOW PAGES is the name of all the projects linked to the original series featured in IDEA. It introduces the practices and philosophy of seven groups of designers by interviewing them in their own cities throughout Asia. The YELLOW PAGES exhibition held at Kyoto’s ddd Gallery this spring focused on three groups (from Seoul, Beijing and Taiwan) and introduced their work in a project based way: the collaborators behind the scenes were also exhibited.
