Issey Miyake Paper Log: Satoshi Kondo Reframes Pleating Scrap as Material

Satoshi Kondo of MIYAKE DESIGN STUDIO turned his attention away from Issey Miyake’s famously pleated garments and toward what came off the machine alongside them — wafer-thin paper, compressed into rolls and bound for the bin. The result is The Paper Log: Shell and Core, a Milan Design Week 2026 exhibition that treats a production by-product as the protagonist, asking what else gets discarded inside processes we already think we understand.
