STATEMENT OF ART:Sayoko was educated in Architecture, Interior and furniture design both in England and Japan.

She also experiments with material its natural ability or explore their potential possibility.
After having been educated in interior design and architecture, physical feeling became important to the development of my designs. As well as approaching projects from different aspects to solve problems, examining ideas is also one of the important key points during the development process. Experiencing different cultures in the UK has taught me the importance of being open minded and having flexibility to accept similarities and differences, which has widened my design understanding. Design is for human beings to enhance their life, therefore understanding environments, cultures and all kind of aspects around us is essential. However, in terms of the functional side, neutral thought is crucial to avoid reducing possible opportunities for everyone. The fundamental concept behind all of the designs is to portray an elegant simplicity, mirroring my Japanese minimalist influence.
