About Yuya Nakazawa : Yuya Nakazawa is a furniture maker and video editor whose work bridges analog craft and digital storytelling. He approaches both disciplines as ways of shaping human emotion and experience. Through global travel, woodworking practice, and personal life events, his perspective was transformed, deepening his understanding of Japanese craft values within a contemporary, international context. His work contributes to society by creating durable, human-centered objects and narratives that encourage reflection, connection, and long-term use—offering an alternative to disposable, mass-produced culture. This integration of craft, narrative, and lived experience defines the relevance and distinctiveness of his practice.
STATEMENT OF ART:
I see design as a form of communication rooted in everyday life.
Everything around us is designed, yet it is completed only through use, touch, and time.
For me, design is not a fixed form but a continuous dialogue between maker, user, and material—edited by lived experience.
By weaving emotion and memory into objects, I aim to create works that offer quiet refuge, physical comfort, and human connection, while allowing life itself to leave traces and reshape the design over time.
