INTERVIEW WITH STUDIO BYCOLOR IN JAPAN:EXPLORING THE ATTRACTION OF COLOR AND MATERIAL专访日本 STUDIO BYCOLOR 设计工作室：探索色彩与材料的吸引力“The purpose of color in any design form is to communicate and convey a message.And materials represent respect for the people,space,and environment.”“无论以怎样的设计形式呈现，色彩的目的都是传达某种特定信息，而材料则呈现了创作者对人、空间和环境的尊重。”Among the Gold-Award winners of DFA Design for Asia Awards 2022,a design studio that focuses on color and material research stands out.This design studio is STUDIO BYCOLOR in Tokyo,Japan.STUDIO BYCOLOR was founded in 2013 by Japanese designer Kaori Akiyama.Since its inception,STUDIO BYCOLOR has been focusing on color and material research and application,which may be due to Kaoris work experience:After graduating from Chiba University in 2002 with a degree in design,Kaori began her career at ITOKI CORPORATION,a well-known office furniture manufacturer in Japan.As a pioneer in color schemes in the industry,ITOKI has been working with the studio of Italian design master Clino Trini Castelli,who developed the idea of CMF in the 80s.As a result,Kaori,who has worked for ITOKI for ten years,has accumulated a wealth of experience in product development and design,as well as developing color schemes.Then Kaori decided to expand her scope of creative practice by joining Samira Boons design studio in the Netherlands which is known for creating“Textile Architecture”.Being influenced by the unconventional creative methods of Dutch design and Samiras many iconic works,Kaori discovered the significance of manufacturing that originates from materials.Based on above two important work experiences,Kaori Akiyama founded STUDIO BYCOLOR and has been dedicated to finding meanings and effects that colors and materials have on people.During her continuous material experimentation,Kaori found that she could use the material“tree”to create a variety of elegant and beautiful jewelry,interior accessories,clocks and watches,etc.,and thus established the interior product brand INHERENT:PATTERN.Meanwhile,she also established MATERIAL IN TIME,a material display platform dedicated to introducing Japans excellent materials to the world.Up to now,MATERIAL IN TIME has already held two exhibitions in Hong Kong,China.With unique and inspiring natural beauty created through in-depth exploration and experimentation with color and materials,STUDIO BYCOLORs works have won numerous design awards,including the Good Design Award Japan,German Design Award,Design Intelligence Award China,to name just a few.In addition,STUDIO BYCOLORs works have been exhibited at various exhibitions in Japan,as well as at international exhibitions such as Salone del Mobile Ventura Lambrate(Milan)and more.So,how does Kaori Akiyama decide the colors and materials for different products and brand designs?What excellent Japanese materials is MATERIAL IN TIME dedicated to introducing?What has been the biggest difficulties,challenges,and gains in creating INHERENT:PATTERN products from wood?How are these products selling?With these questions in mind,Package&Design conducted an exclusive interview with Kaori Akiyama,Founder of STUDIO BYCOLOR,and selected some exceptional design works of STUDIO BYCOLOR to share with our readers.在2022年DFA亚洲最具影响力设计奖“金奖”的获得者中，有一家注重色彩和材料研究的设计工作室格外引人注目，这家工作室就是位于日本东京的STUDIO BYCOLOR设计工作室。STUDIO BYCOLOR由日本设计师Kaori Akiyama于2013年创立，自成立之初就非常注重色彩和材料的研究与应用，而这或许源于Kaori的工作经历：2002年从日本千叶大学设计专业毕业后，Kaori在日本知名办公家具制造商伊藤喜株式会社（ITOKI CORPORATION）开启了职业生涯伊藤喜是日本业内家具配色方面的先驱，一直与于上世纪80年代提出CMF概念（即色彩、材料、表面工艺）的意大利设计大师Clino Trini Castelli保持着合作。由此，在伊藤喜从事产品开发与设计以及配色方案打造长达十年的Kaori积累了丰富的经验。之后，Kaori决定扩大自身的创作领域，于是加入了以打造“纺织建筑”（Textile Architecture）而知名的荷兰Samira Boon设计工作室，受荷兰设计的非常规创作方法以及Samira众多标志性作品的影响，Kaori发现了材料之于制造的重要性。基于以上两段重要的工作经历，Kaori Akiyama创立STUDIO BYCOLOR后，一直积极通过产品设计、空间设计和品牌设计探索着色彩和材料对人们的意义和影响。在不断进行材料实验的过程中，她发现可以用“树”这种材料打造出各种优雅美丽的珠宝、室内配件、钟表等产品，由此创建了INHERENT:PATTERN这一珠宝与室内产品品牌。与此同时，她还筹建了材料展示平台MATERIAL IN TIME，致力于向世界展示日本的优秀材料。截至目前，MATERIAL IN TIME已在中国香港举办过两届展览。对色彩和材料的深入探索与实验让STUDIO BYCOLOR的作品独具触动人心的自然之美，亦因而获奖无数，包括获日本优良设计奖、德国设计奖、中国设计智造大奖（DIA）等等；此外，STUDIO BYCOLOR的作品还在日本本土众多展览以及米兰国际家具展等国际展览中展出。那么，针对不同的产品和品牌设计，Kaori Akiyama是如何确立色彩和材料的？她的MATERIAL IN TIME致力于展示哪些优秀的日本材料？用木材来打造INHERENT:PATTERN产品时，最大的困难、挑战和收获分别是什么？这些产品销售情况如何？带着这些问题，本期 包装&设计 对STUDIO BYCOLOR创始人Kaori Akiyama进行了专访，同时甄选了STUDIO BYCOLOR的部分优秀设计作品，与读者分享。Kaori Akiyama，STUDIO BYCOLOR创始人62 Package&Design 63Package&Design62 Package&DesignINTERVIEW WITH STUDIO BYCOLOR IN JAPAN:EXPLORING THE ATTRACTION OF COLOR AND MATERIAL专访日本 STUDIO BYCOLOR 设计工作室：探索色彩与材料的吸引力“The purpose of color in any design form is to communicate and convey a message.And materials represent respect for the people,space,and environment.”“无论以怎样的设计形式呈现，色彩的目的都是传达某种特定信息，而材料则呈现了创作者对人、空间和环境的尊重。”Among the Gold-Award winners of DFA Design for Asia Awards 2022,a design studio that focuses on color and material research stands out.This design studio is STUDIO BYCOLOR in Tokyo,Japan.STUDIO BYCOLOR was founded in 2013 by Japanese designer Kaori Akiyama.Since
