April 29-June 14
To celebrate last month¡¯s release of the design book ¡°Sony Design: Making Modern,¡± printed by New York¡¯s Rizzoli International Publications, Sony, one of Japan¡¯s biggest electronics companies, is holding an exhibition at their event space Opus.
The show features products from the Sony archives and looks back to the company¡¯s foundation in 1946, when it first came up with its motto: ¡°Doing what has never been done before.¡±
Thirty items produced since the 1970s are on display, including a nostalgic vivid yellow Walkman ¡ª a design that pioneered the culture of taking music outside the home ¡ª plus generations of video-game hardware, a Playstation and the more recent humanoid robot SDR-4XII.
Opus; Sony Bldg. 8F, 5-3-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. Ginza Stn. 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Free admission. 03-3573-2371;
