Fukasawa collaborates with world-leading companies and brands, also working as a consultant for major international manufacturers. The winner of numerous awards, including the 2018 Isamu Noguchi Award, he has also published several books, the most recent one titled: 'Naoto Fukasawa EMBODIMENT' (PHAIDON). Fukasawa is one of the most clear minded and determined contemporary designers in pursuit of what he refers to as 'ecological' design. For Fukasawa, 'ecological' does not just mean making the best possible use of non-renewable materials and recycling, it especially means promoting a minimalist aesthetic: a calm, albeit expressive aesthetic. In this sense, Naoto is the great standard-bearer of a centuries-old concept in his country’s tradition.
