IBUKI vase 3
“Si sente un soffio vitale?
"Do you feel the breath of life?"
Life grows strong and reaches for the sky, like a spiral that goes round and round.
This flower vase expresses the pulse of life in nature through the powerful yet delicate handwork of a woodworking artisan.

Creative Director Product Development Designer
We develop and design products that pursue beauty and appeal, and then we plan stories that utilize videos and photos. We communicate with the creators and work together to consider a wide range of areas, including product planning, graphics, and space, all of which are necessary to "make, communicate, and sell" products.
Born in Kagawa Prefecture, after graduating from the Department of Design at Tokyo University of the Arts, he gained experience as a designer, buyer, and merchandiser at an interior goods company before moving to Italy. After working as an assistant designer at COVO (Rome) and DENIS GUIDONE DESIGN STUDIO (Milan), he went independent. He is active both domestically and internationally, exhibiting his products and product brands that utilize traditional crafts and local industries at Milano Design Week in Italy and Maison et Objet in France.
I want to deliver many ideas every day, just like traveling. When someone wants to draw a picture, I want to be the person who can give shape to that person's "picture." I carry out my creative activities with this desire in mind.
●Leonardo Cappellini
Woodworking Artist Woodworking Lathe Craftsman
Born in Florence, Italy in 1995, he graduated from a science high school and studied design at the University of Florence. He developed a passion for nature and plants, and during his studies he discovered wood turning, which became his deepest passion. After mastering the turning technique, he preferred to use reclaimed wood rather than cutting down trees, and dedicated all his free time to creating wooden works. He currently lives and works in a natural setting. His works combine wood turning, carving, and annealing, and are inspired by the natural world around him. He incorporates various types of trees, leaves, and flowers into his art, focusing on working with fresh wood, responding to environmental changes and drawing inspiration from the passage of time. A member of the Italian Association of Wood Turning Artists, he regularly participates in events such as "Fiercola" in Florence, and will exhibit at the International Handicraft Exhibition in 2023. His philosophy in work is based on the law of life: "Everything changes." This reflects "nature itself" as the magic of material transformation.
