Yoko Kawada

Designer/maker of homeware products including tile art of SQUARE+ROUND Basin, MONO Tray and collaboration work of Kintsugi with international artists and artisan.

I studied interior design in London late 1990 and established solo trade business as Yoko Kawada in 2016.

My design is influenced by multiple countries I have been in the past searching materials and creative process both in traditional way and with technology.

I started to practice Kintsugi a few years ago in Japan to incorporate its unique nature of the Japanese traditional craft into my design.

I run Kintsugi workshops to share the joy of learning this Japanese craft full of surprises and contradictions.
