Naoto Fukasawa
"[...] one of the most clearminded and determined contemporary designers in pursuit of what he refers to as “ecological” design. For this designer “ecological” does not just mean making the best possible use of non-renewable materials and recycling, it especially means promoting a minimalist aesthetic: a calm, albeit expressive aesthetic. In this sense, Naoto is the great standard-bearer of a centuries-old concept in his country’s tradition."
