Video reports from the “You Are Here – Milan Design Week 2023” event at which we exhibited in April 2023.
Although music may not be absolutely essential to survival, we believe that it brings richness and color to one’s existence, and is thus indispensable to leading a fulfilled, truly human life. Musical instruments can sometimes be an extension of your body, and at times a cherished partner. We at the Yamaha Design Laboratory believe that there is a special intimacy to the presence of an instrument that makes it truly "with us," unlike the simple inanimate presence of other objects. For this exhibition, we have created furniture that makes life with musical instruments fun, crafting spaces for them in our daily lives and lowering the barrier to simply sitting down and playing, designs that bring them into our conversations and add music to our existences. The title of our exhibition, "You Are Here," symbolizes the value of being present.
