View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Coichi WadaAbout Coichi Wada : Coichi Wada is one of Japan's leading kitchen designers. His designs are not limited to product design, but also include interior design proposals, including kitchens, and his designs are functional as well. In this sense, he is an extremely rare interior designer. His activities are not limited to kitchens, and he designs a wide variety of spaces and products. He also focuses on training younger designers and expanding the market.
Designing a house means reconstructing the lifestyle of the people who live there. It is not about designing the space of a house, but about designing the act of living or the way people behave. The same goes for kitchens; instead of designing the kitchen equipment, it is about designing the lifestyle of the people who will use it, including their eating habits, and each and every aspect of the design, including the shape, color, material, and layout, must have individuality.
