炭酸デザイン室

炭酸デザイン室

Founded by textile designers Tomoaki Mizuno and Wakana Ino. Based in their atelier surrounded by the rich natural landscape of Shiga, they have expanded their activities in Japan and abroad, including year-round illustrations for Takashimaya stores, participation in the exhibition “150 Years of Japonisme” at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, design instruction in Mongolia, and product development in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Our Artists

This page introduces the artists and creators whose work is featured in our collection. From painters and illustrators to textile designers, our diverse group of contributors from Japan and around the world moves freely across the boundaries of art and design, without being confined by traditional categories.
