社団法人日本インダストリアルデザイナー協会は、20世紀文化の重要な核であるデザインの「過去・現在・未来ー明日への伝承」を目標にデザインミュージアム活動を行って参りました。
「継続は文化を育む」との思いでここに、JIDA DESIGN MUSEUM SELECTION Vol.12を発行することが出来ました。これも偏にここ数年の経済状況悪化にもかかわらず本活動に継続的に支援していただいている財団法人石橋財団をはじめ各企業の賛助会員ならびにJIDAデザインミュージアム支援会会員のご支援の賜物です。深く感謝申し上げます。
毎年積み重ねられるJIDA DESIGN MUSEUM SELECTIONは日本の工業デザイン文化を後世に残す事業であり、世界に向けて発信し続けているJIDAの最も大切な事業の一つです。
さてここに改めて皆様に「JIDAデザインミュージアム支援会」への参加をお願いいたします。
JIDAではデザインミュージアム活動を「21世紀の豊かな環境社会を目指す社会運動とする」ため、この主旨にご賛同いただける方々のご支援を賜る「JIDAデザインミュージアム支援会」を結成しております。支援会とはこのセレクション事業を始めとするJIDAデザインミュージアム活動の主旨に賛同し資金面で支援する会です。昨今の経済情勢が反映し支援金活動も厳しさを増して参りました。皆様方のご支援を賜りますよう宜しくお願い申し上げます。

The Japan Industrial Designers' Association has been undertaking the Design Museum activity with the goal "past, present, future – inheriting tradition" of design, which is a cornerstone of 20th century culture.
With the thought "continuation fosters culture", the publishing of the JIDA Design Museum Selection Vol. 12 became possible. This is solely due to the support of not only the Ishibashi Foundation, which has continuously supported this activity despite the worsening economic situation during the past few years, but also of the supporting members of different companies, as well as the JIDA Design Museum Support Group members. We greatly appreciate the support.
The JIDA Design Museum Selection, held every single year, aims at bequeathing Japan's industrial design culture to the next generation, and is one of the most important activities of JIDA being continuously sent out into the world.
We would herewith like to again ask for your participation in the "JIDA Design Museum Support Group".
In order for the design museum activity to become a "social movement aiming for a rich environmental society of the 21st century", JIDA has formed the "JIDA Design Museum Support Group" to gather the support of those who favor this idea. The group is intended to support the concept of the JIDA Design Museum activities, including this selection activity, and to also support the activities financially. The activity to collect funds is getting increasingly harder due to the recent economic situation. We sincerely ask for all of your support.
