View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Takusei KajitaniAbout Takusei Kajitani : Born on 28 April 1966 in Kyoto City and spent childhood time in Kurashiki City of Okayama Prefecture. Studied urban design at Kyoto University ,wrote a treatise on urban image formation. Particularly influenced by "The City of the Images", Kevin A. Lynch and "Notes on the Synthesis of Form", Christopher Alexander at that time. Began working for the design consulting department of the interior design and construction company in Tokyo for 5 years. Changed jobs to the advertising company Hakuhodo in 1995, and worked for the spatial design department that plans, designs, and produces various corporate branding facilities. In 2007, established Hakuhodo Experience Design, which specialized in "spatial experience design" and have been promoting various businesses with the theme of experience design that brings good relationships between corporates and the users. Established Consentable as private studio in 2014, after which I began to work on the theme of digital life furniture.
"Relationships" is one of the most important keywords that I have been thinking about in my design work. They are between human beings and virus, home and office, freedom and responsibility, life and money, nature and urbanization, and so on. This also reminds me of a word by the great designer, Paul Rand, "Design is relationships".
What kind of Relationships should the designer pay attention to?
What kind of Design will be needed in the future?
One clear thing is that there has never been a greater need for better Relationships between humans than now.
