Context craft designer /Product designer
Pursuing beauty and charm in product development design, complemented by storytelling through visuals and photography. Collaborating with creators, we explore comprehensive strategies across product planning, graphics, and spatial design to “create, communicate, and sell” effectively.
Yusuke Taguchi is a product development designer whose work aims to capture and incorporate the intrinsic beauty of mediums and people via Japanese traditional artistry and collaboration with artisans, craftsmen, and authors both domestically and abroad. His close interaction with artisans allows for freedom of expression within the framework of “making” “conveying” and “selling,” leading to truly evocative pieces.
Born in Kagawa, graduated from the Design Department of Tokyo University of the Arts, and gained experience as a designer, buyer, and merchandiser at an interior goods company before moving to Italy. Worked as an assistant designer at COVO (Rome) and DENIS GUIDONE DESIGN STUDIO (Milan) before becoming independent.
Taguchi has exhibited his work at a variety of international design events like Milan Design Week and Masion&Objet where in recent years he has focused his energy on showcasing the practical potential of products in daily life, providing opportunities for consumers to both try out and purchase products, and also interact directly with the artisans that made them.

クリエイティブディレクター/商品開発デザイナー
日本の伝統芸術と国内外の職人、工芸家、作家とのコラボレーションを通して、素材や人々の持つ本質的な美しさを捉え、作品に取り入れることを目指すプロダクトデザイナー。
香川県生まれ、東京藝術大学デザイン科を卒業後、インテリア雑貨会社でデザイナー / バイヤー / マーチャンダイザーの経験を積み、渡伊。COVO社(ローマ)やDENIS GUIDONE DESIGN STUDIO(ミラノ)でアシスタントデザイナーを務めた後、独立。
つくり手や職人との密接な交流は、「作る」「伝える」「売る」という枠組みの中で表現の自由を可能にし、心に響く作品を生み出している。 ミラノデザインウィークやメゾン・エ・オブジェなど、数々の国際的なデザインイベントで作品を発表し、近年は、日常生活における実用性を紹介することに力を注ぎ、作品やプロダクトを実際に手に取り、使いながら、制作に関わる職人と直接交流できる機会の創出にも取り組んでいる。
