Designer: Toyo Ito
Toyo Ito was born in 1941. Ito is known for creating conceptual architecture that seeks to simultaneously express the physical and virtual worlds. He is a leading exponent of architecture that addresses the contemporary notion of a "simulated" city, and has been called one of the world's most innovative and influential architects. His designs revolve around the equilibrium between the private life and the metropolitan, "public" life of an individual. In doing so, he seeks to find new spatial conditions that manifest the philosophy of borderless beings. In 2013, Ito was awarded the Pritzker Prize.

Founded in 1923, Yamagiwa is the leading manufacturer of high-end Japanese avantgarde lighting. Yamagiwa collaborates with internationally acclaimed architects and designers to create lighting that engages any space it inhabits.
