John Derian, a leading New York designer, will hold a book signing event, "THE WORLD of JOHN DERIAN," to celebrate the publication of his book on March 24th at H.P. DECO in Omotesando, Tokyo.

John Derian has created numerous decorative objects, including paperweights, decorative plates, lamps, and vases, using the ancient Italian technique of "decoupage," in which cut paper is collaged and glued to glass. "JOHN DERIAN PICTURE BOOK" brings together motifs that are synonymous with his work, selected from the countless recycled papers that served as the starting point for his creative work over the past 30 years. The 368-page book contains 350 images.

The book has proven extremely popular, having been selected as a bestseller in the US New York Times magazine for two consecutive months since December 2016, and in Japan it is available at H.P.DECO as well as H.P.DECO Marunouchi, H.P.DECO Curiosity Room Yokohama, Futako Tamagawa, Fukuoka Ash Pave Chic (Kobe), and the online store H.P.F, MALL.

In addition, at the opening of the autograph signing event, the new decoupage collection and ceramics created in collaboration with Astier de Villatte will also be on sale.
