Born in Kyoto, April 6, 1972. After working at Green Gables Co.Ltd, established knot Ltd.in 2001

While contemporary residences are meant to be lived in, daily living is rather neglected. I think interiors and furniture are meant to make our lives more fulfilling ― choosing furniture, looking for glass and tableware, hanging art on the walls. By integrating these actions and ideas into daily life, this helps to create a life with leisure. I want to continue to offer this kind of furniture.

In Japan, there is an environment and mode of living unique to this country. Now is a period when people are looking for a new way of life after the disappearance of traditional lifestyles. I strive to make furniture that can become a part of a new mode of living, one that is matched to the time period and place.
