Limited Edition

“Developed during a workshop with designer Leonardo Sonnoli, the project’s brief was to promote ‘something we hate’. In collaboration with Woo Chung, Min ji Lee, and Jonathan Yamakami, we chose to address the issue of ‘Limited Editions’, which we perceive to be the creation of false scarcity. Examining the attributes of limited editions; small production runs, special materials, designer or event editions, we created a notebook that synthesized these elements. Editions were produced for the professors involved in the workshop, us who made the product, and one other student in the class. This last edition was given away at random, in an attempt to inspire a special feeling in the recipient, and jealousy in those who did not receive it.” — Chris Hamamoto
