Hideaki Kawashima

Since my childhood, I liked making things. In university I studied direction of space.
But I couldn't forget about how I loved making things. As a result, I came to the world of wood craft.
I would like to make a product which has wood expression by resting on geometry.
I hope that my products make many people enjoy conversations with one another.
