Jin Kuramoto is a Japanese designer who established JIN KURAMOTO STUDIO INC. in 2008. Born and raised on a small island in the countryside, he loves fishing and people a lot. He designs all kinds of products such as furniture, home appliances, eyeware, and automobiles with the belief that the form of things each tell a different story. He values the process of repeat trial and error, touching materials, listening to their voice, prototyping in a studio full of inspiration, and making positive accidents. His work has won a lot of international awards, including the Red Dot Award, Good Design award, and the iF Product Design Award.
