koichiro kimura (1963－）

Koichiro Kimura's work is part of his continued pursuit to create art and design pieces that express the evolved relationship between man and object.
He comes from a family with a 400-year history of producing traditional Japanese housewares. Kimura brings such traditional techniques together with "high technology" to create works which can been seen at leading shops, businesses and museums.
