case study
Tokujin Yoshioka is a Japanese artist and designer based in Japan. Tokujin Yoshioka was born in Saga prefecture, Japan in 1967. The reason why he wants to become a designer is because he liked drawing and his father told him there is an occupation called “designer”, so he went on and made up his mind to become a designer in the future. And after graduating from Kuwasawa design school located in Tokyo in 1986. He worked under Shiro Kuramata for a year and Issey Miyake for four years before he went on to become a freelance designer in 1992. In five years time, he continued to explore and study design under these two design legends. Eight years after, he established the Tokujin Yoshioka design office in 2000. Tokujin had collaborated with serval companies such as Hermes, Swarovski, Driade, Nissan, BMW, Shiseido, Moroso and etc with shop design and installation. The projects that bring him and his company to catch people awareness was a furniture called “Honey-pop” designed in 2001. Tokujin Yoshioka
“I want to move on. ... surprise people. in a simple way.”
Tokujin Yoshioka is a designer that revolves around designing ‘things for everybody’ and bringing back the rebirth in material design. The reason why Tokujin select material as the core of design is because he wants to explore and research how to make materials even more interesting, how colors affect the designs. He is trying to mix design with gravity and the environment in order to catch people’s attention and emotional feelings. His aim is to create something that no one has done it before. Tokujin avoids designing in modern way and goes beyond boarders based on his interpretations. He brings in everyday materials in a combination with environment, where he can express his work in its most simple and expressive form.
In Tokujin Yoshioka’s thinking, design means life to him. He believes nowadays design is shifting from designing the shape to designing the experience and the sensations. Nature, is the inspiration that influence Tokujin, as he believe with the ever-changing expression, it is the optimum creation in existence. The beauty of nature exists only for a few moments and can never be reproduced. Literally, it becomes a piece of memory and fades away slowly.
“what is design? design is part of myself”
In Tokujin Yoshioka’s creation, we often seen his design implanted with Japanese traditions. Although he claimed that he does not intend to include them particularly, but we can see his design might have some elements of Japanese food. A role example was a creation called “Tofu”. “Tofu” is a light created in 2000 and manufactured by a company called Yamagiwa. “Tofu” has aided Tokujin Yoshioka to receive the Wallpaper Design Award in 2010, and the light itself was named in “Best Table lamp” category under the award.
“Design is really simple.”
“Tofu” has expresses the beauty of being able to physically sees and touches the light instead of through the object around it. By being able to see how the light flow through a material, which it lead us to think how lights flow or moves through air. The reason why the lamp is called “Tofu” is because Tokujin Yoshioka implants similar idea of the Japanese food culture. In Japanese food, tofu brings out its taste without any other ingredients to bring its original beauty. With this special characteristic on tofu itself, Tokujin Yoshioka got inspired and applies this name into his design, to bring out the natural beauties of “Tofu”.
TOFU, 2000
Tokujin Yoshioka’s perspectives not just designing an object for daily use for people, but he integrates beauty that what other designers has accomplished from the past. Tokujin states that “there is an important responsibility associated with making anything…if you look back in history, people originally made things only for themselves, or for their community – people whose feelings they could understand intimately. I think we’re heading back in that direction” (Yoshioka, 2006). From his perspective, he begins to develop the shape of the future of design that could head towards. By experiencing and applying it in Tokujin Yoshioka x Lexus L-finesse, Evolving Fiber Technology is an example of his work to show the relationship between mass production with simple materials. The show was held in Museo della Permanete during the Salone del Mobile di Milano, which exhibited a construction with 700km of transparent fibre. The design intention from Tokujin Yoshioka was to create a flexible feeling from solid panels and wall in the showroom.

As Tokujin Yoshioka design approach is to use materials in a new way of process, goes beyond the border and going through what others have accomplished, Tokujin Yoshioka has designed a chair called “Honey-pop” in 2001, the design intention was to uniting the people with the designer. The chair was build with layers of paper honeycomb, and the form will take place and shape once the body sits on the chair, eventually, it creates form of the sitter beautifully. As a result, this design piece had brought him to the next level of his career. He catches people’s awareness globally about his work and he starts to explore more deeply in this field (materials and environment) in order to aid his design researches.
Paper-Pop, 2001
“Without boundaries I want to create something that moves everyone’s feelings”
With the success brought from the “Honey-pop”, Tokujin Yoshioka had appeared in loads of article, interviews and TV show globally, and 9 design works had been collected in the MOMA since 2000. And beyond that, Tokujin Yoshioka was selected as one of “100 Japanese respected by the world” in Newsweek magazine of Japanese edition in 2007. In addition, Tokujin presented two books in 2009 and 2010 called “Invisible Forms” which about his own design theory behind and a portfolio book called “Tokujin Yoshioka” with a collection of all his design works.
100 Japanese respected by the world, 2007
“Design fills the possibilities in life with hope” The themes that Tokujin Yoshioka mainly focuses in are transparency, minimal form, materials application and bringing the emotional feeling into design. As he said, feeling of nature would not appear again once is gone from our memory, he tried to capture the feeling and blend it into his work in order to catch audience awareness and emotional feeling. By collaborate the nature with the environment, a stronger emotional attachment will bring out from the design and its designer’s thought towards the audiences. It is very important to capture a wide audience across all ages, especially children, because they are the future. When kids can understood the meaning deep inside a project without language and without explanation, it means that the design speaks itself and obtains everyone’s feeling. The work should explain itself without explanation, it should let the viewers’ to imagine and to interpret with the design, or designs can aid the viewers’ to bring back their childhood memories. Instead of owning a physical thing like the old days, designs should flow with nowadays, well developed society, to fill it with more spiritual thinking and emotion or feelings. In conclusion, Tokujin Yoshioka hopes that interaction with his creations and a persons’ memory will lead to another creation. He thinks design and art is more about grabbing someone’s heart than its function. By using ordinary materials, it creates the possibilities to let people’s feelings complete the design. Let the emotion to drive our design.
