Kosuke Araki

Eyes on Talents member, Kosuke Araki, is a Japanese designer working and living in Tokyo. Kosuke Araki creates works in search of values or sensitivities that have been slighted in the process of rapid modernisation. With appreciation of nature, he carefully listens to the voice of things and ponders ways to retrieve humanity in our life. His project Anima - Memorial Service is a series of tableware handcrafted from food waste and Urushi, Japanese lacquer, for rethinking our relationship with nature. The collection has been acquired for the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A).
