The Japanese obsession with presentation has permeated multiple subfields of industrial design, perhaps none more so than package design. In recognition of this fact is the currently running Suupaa Pop - Package Design from Japan, an exhibit at the AIGA National Design Gallery in New York.

From their site:

Many design concepts and product ideas have been borne out of the inspiration offered by the Japanese market; Japanese packaging is one of the leading forces of innovation, applied technology, and risk taking in the industry. The selections on display provide examples of unique design, unexpected use of materials, innovative products, beautiful aesthetics and inspiring surprises.

Show runs until May 25th. No word on whether they'll be displaying last year's infamous Nut-Busting Doritos pack, but we can hope.
