THE BUYER
Teruhiro Yanagihara
Teruhiro Yanagihara is one of the leading designers and creative directors in Japan, turning his hand to everything from ultracontemporary accessories, ceramics, glass, lighting and furniture to the interiors of shops, restaurants and hotels. In a shop and gallery on a floor in the building that contains his Osaka studio, he applies his fine eye for detail to a perfectly attuned selection of Japanese craft and design items. He chooses beautiful objects by small makers who demonstrate exceptional technique and expert craftsmanship but don’t necessarily know how to bring their work to market. Here, he introduces us to three of his current favorites from the shop.
