Rikuo Takata

Rikuo was born in Mie Prefecture in 1998. He graduated from the Interior and Architectural Design Department at Kanazawa College of Art. While working as a designer in Tokyo, he is also active in two other locations: Fukui Prefecture, where he lived for six months during university, and his hometown in Mie Prefecture. He creates objects inspired by the craftsmanship of local artisans while immersing himself in producing regions. He aims to create new interpretations within these regions by incorporating respect for local history and tradition while not being bound to them in the way he expresses himself. He is a member of the design studio 'Sen,' based in Fukui Prefecture.
