Graduated from Tama Art University in 1980, Fukasawa is an industrial designer from Japan. He works on furniture, home appliances and lifestyle accessories. His clients include Issey Miyake, Muji and Danese Milano.

With the minimal details, the products stand out for its body form. And I love Muji.

@ UMMI

Among the designers we have been introduced in class, I would say that I can relate to Fukasawa’s design philosophy of simplicity. He also has the philosophy of  “Objective Thinking”, where he stated that we should not express our own mind through the product.

Naoto Fukasawa

A Japanese industrial designer, his designs are simple, easy to use and minimalistic, much like how I believe that good products should be. Some of his many notable designs include kitchen appliances (specifically toaster, kettle, rice cooker and CD player) for Muji, a Japanese retail company.

One of his Muji designs that I like is the kettle.

The designer that I most identify with is Naoto Fukasawa.

I like his simplistic style with appropriate details and colour. He uses one colour for his product to keep it simple but still impactful at the same time. His designs are straight-forward and able to communicate visually to users (on its functions etc).

The artist I most identify with is Naoto Fukasawa.

I am able to connect with the use of curves in his simplistic designs. His designs are simple and shares a sense of thoughtfulness to the user experience that is intuitive and yet not flashy at the same time.
