As the designated design director for the IFFT Interior Lifestyle Living 2018, Kohei Takata focused on tailoring the Philippine furniture, home decor, and houseware industry to the Japanese high-end interior market.<\/p>\n

Designer Takata chose pieces that will be appropriate for the Japanese market and gave a lecture on the Japanese culture and lifestyle. With the focus on baskets, gardening items, and seasonal decorative items, Philippine local craftsmanship is highlighted.<\/p>\n

\u201cFilipino products are [mostly] handcrafted, and they have very good techniques [which] I think is very important because Japanese people like handicrafts,\u201d\u00a0Takata said on his impression of what he saw in the product development meetings with the participating companies.<\/p>\n
