Kunitachi, 1948

Native of Kunitachi, Tokyo, and initially devoted to painting, in Italy he discovers his vocation for product design. Starting in the 1980s, he begins his career as a designer, excelling particularly in lighting and creating icons that still amaze today for their beauty and contemporaneity. He will always alternate his presence between Italy and Japan, working – among others – precisely for Stilnovo, with which today he rekindles a thread that was never broken, in the sign of design continuity with the many masterpieces of the past created for the Milanese brand.
