Committed to a vision of architecture and design anchored in compelling ideas andcraftsmanship, Shuwa Tei is inspired by the marriage of traditional Japanese aesthetics and contemporary technology. Unbounded by convention, he is concerned with the relationship between Japan and the rest of the world, and the development and evolution of its design practice over time. In 1995, he founded Intentionallies with two colleagues – today, the company’s portfolio spans product design, environmental design, interiors and architecture.
