About Kairo Kusamoto

Currently a graduate student. My thought based on the importance of linguistically understanding the value the thing has and the value the person finds in things. but not like simple expressions such as cool, pretty, etc. I am thinking that there are important elements other than the value that can be formulated, quantified and dateable like monetary value and function. As a result, the sense of distance to objets and Things is shrinking and I think that it is possible to understand the other side of objects and Things.

Enriching personal life more by stimulating human life and values.
How do you think the "design field" is evolving? What is the future of design?
I believe that not only new designs using new technologies and new materials due to the evolution of technology but also designs that will be visible by criticizing new things for old things. I think that a lot of small markets and communities are born, not a big market.

I live in Japan. Because my country has few conceptual designs, it has a big influence on my design that conscious of the concept.

Even when you receive a theme, even when you create your own theme, we will first build a concept linguistically. Then I will create a diagram and think about design accordingly.
What type of design work do you enjoy the most and why?
I enjoy the design of furniture, interior and architecture. Because i learned about them in art university.
What are your future plans? What is next for you?
Apart from the content of the design, I think that it is never backward calculated considering the future in the person living in the design. Continue fighting anyway.
