Trained as an industrial designer, he expertly blended tradition with modernity, perfecting his craft in his Tokyo workshop. His creations have become quintessential references in Japanese design.

Crafted from fine bamboo strips woven into an intricate star pattern, this wall light presents a delicate yet elegant structure.
