Since receiving his master’s degree at the Tokyo Metropolitan University in 2006, Japanese designer Akiyuki Sasaki, with a passion for the Chinese culture, has been traveling frequently between Japan and China to work on product and spatial design for some of the best-known Japanese brands. In 2010, Akiyuki won the Kids Design Award for his SAUTO furniture line under ACTUS. In 2015, Akiyuki launched IKASAS, his own label of original furniture based on decade-long design practice, whose ethos of “Complexity in Brevity ” imbues contemporary furniture presentations with the Zen and elegance of oriental aesthetics.
IKASAS是日本设计师佐佐木章行创立的原创家居品牌。2006年热爱中国文化的佐佐木章行从东京都立大学研究生毕业之后一直往返于东京和上海之间从事产品设计和家居装饰设计，曾参与多个著名品牌的原创设计工作。积累了多年从事产品设计的经验，所有家具都融入了佐佐木章行对于生活美学的诠释。一件件令人赏心悦目的作品来自于IKASAS中日文化的融合与传统工艺的提炼。
Recognizing the diversity of modern-day living, people no longer define the construct of their living space with labels tied to any particular décor, place or time, or in a monochromatic style. Rather they look for living spaces that are both delightful and different that incorporate myriads of cultural and design elements across time and space.
Each piece of Akiyuki’s design embodies his observation of and unique perspective on everyday life and finds the balance between consistency and variation. All his works stand by his design philosophy of “intelligent pursuit of trends, timeless creative and endurable quality”.
近年来，伴随着多元化的社会背景和环境变化，人们对于提升日常生活品质的要求远高于从前。家居空间的布置，已不再盲目追求稍纵即逝的时代潮流感，而是要求经典的创意设计、优良的制作工艺和材料质感、以及对文化内涵高度融合的产品。
To meet increasingly sophisticated aesthetic and quality needs, furniture is no longer made to serve purely functional purposes. At IKASAS, each process from design to craftsmanship to packaging, distribution and logistics focuses on reducing the environmental footprint and health impact. To maintain uncompromised Japanese flavor and quality, IKASAS fabricates from FAS-class timber imported directly from the US at its wholly Japanese-owned facility with 30 years of manufacturing experience in full compliance with the Japanese environmental standards.
