Interview with KAZ Shirane

My studio focuses on Art that creates new life.

For me, the design is a solution for the client. My studio aims to suggest beyond more. So My studio focuses on Art.

I like to see a design that I have never seen. Also, I love to know their background that has their own style.

I start to know what they don't like. If they are very clear, it makes to reduce wasted time for us.

We prefer to light weighting material.For example, paper, metal, glass.

While walking along neighborhood after discuss.

What is the challenge for me? then what is the benefit of the client.

As always, I feel I don't have enough time when I design. I always ask my self, are you enjoying?

First of all, I wanted to see how to feel in the work. second of all, what is happening here? Finally, Was it realize what I wanted to do?

To hear everything including what the client and team member said. Also, to understand what I wanted to do.

Good. Because it is very difficult to be judged as good for design. I consider what bad was. but it seems good is very important.

for society, it is very important to mention something new. For the environment, We should think about what we are making.

Technology design will be the mainstream. On the other hand, the hand-made object will be also important.

in Russia in August 2018.

During the working. I always seek how to make the idea. But the only way I know right now is working and working.

As I mentioned, I am always using a mirror. I noticed through my work if we can focus on one thing. the scene would be spread. The is my discovery.

Currently living in Tokyo, Japan. My concept "Interactive space" was affected by an old Japanese house that has fusuma, moving the slide door. It inspired me to come to appear the concept.

To know what our goal is. then make it beyond of our thought.

To know why you chose the designer. The designer devotes 100% to you, however, sometimes conflict may have happened. Because during communication, we miss the most important thing, goal. sometimes some designer doesn't hear anything the client requirement. If so, you can find another one. it is close to your goal. This is my opinion.

At first, I hear all over the project from the client. then I start to hear the detail more. e.g. what you don't like.

1. laptop2. sketchbook3. color pencil4. knife5. ruler

I always wokinng in the client time. So if there are several project around the world that makes me confused!!

if you won't take a risk, you won't get any benefit. And if you are not suitable in your place, don't hesite move another place.

There is no negative thing to be a designer if you wish. There is only positive thing in the process of being a createor.

Even if I work for new project, I develop previous work. In other work, I won't think from nothing.

Communication, to think deeply

I develop own software to realize my project that makes also me to reduce a lot of time but to create many ideas. That's the reason I focus on my thing.

Depend on the project, for permanent project, it took one year half. When exhibit previouswork in other place, it won't take long time.

What is inspiration for you?

I start to create temporary exhibition work. So my dream was to create permanent work.I only have one permanent project in Tokyo, Japan.

Rolls Royce Mortor Cars, Sony, British American Tabaco Company, Fashion Walk,

As always, when I start to work for new project, it was excited.

I will create S,M,L,XL

I work with my collegue.
