A decade-by-decade look at Sony's history, from its early post-war years to its role as a global technology company. Each section focuses on key products, moments, and shifts that defined the company over time.

This project comes from years of collecting and documenting Sony's products, with the goal of putting that work into a format that is easier to read, reference, and revisit.

The pacing is chronological but visual first, using strong product moments and quiet transitions to make Sony's evolution readable without turning the book into a dense reference manual.

Designed as a printed object first, with careful attention to layout, image reproduction, and pacing so the material can be experienced without distraction.
