A while back we posted about designer Issey Miyake’s (then) new website on account of the fact that we found the flash intro absolutely mesmerising. We also loved the soundtrack.
Since then we’ve visited thousands of sites in our relentless trek for material for the site but nothing in that time …

It’s not very often we post about a site in particular …
