Keiji Ashizawa Design Offices

During last week’s edition of PauseTalk, Keiji Ashizawa brought along a few photos of his new office space, which I’m posting here. You’ll remember that before making the move, Keiji used the space in December to host the “PROTOTYPE” exhibition.

One of the things that I find so great about his new studio is that he has decided to share it with his wife’s flower shop.

As you’ll notice in the photos, the front part of the space, as you enter, is devoted to all things green. The design part of the studio happens behind.

Certainly makes for a nice working environment! If you look at the ceiling you’ll probably notice Keiji’s Gravity Light.

Rad. It was so hard to see it on the wall at Pausetalk, it’s nice to see it for real. Such a cool combination.

Jean Snow lives and breathes design and pop culture in Tokyo -- sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes. He has reported on these obsessions for the following online/offline publications: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Game|Life, and The Japan Times. He also manages the gallery space at Cafe Pause.

Jean Snow is a daily contributor to Wired magazine's game blog, Game|Life, covering game news from Japan and beyond.

Tokyolife: Art and Design covers Tokyo's cultural output of the past few years, covering the works of over 80 influential creatives. Jean Snow provided coordination assistance.

The Superfuture Superguides are a series of PDF travel guides to some of your favorites cities, updated monthly, and obsessively compiling the best places to shop, eat, and drink. The Tokyo guide is edited by Jean Snow.

He is also the design/culture editor at Neojaponisme, a web journal covering social and cultural aspects of Japan. Read the manifesto, by founder and chief editor W. David Marx, here.

PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00. The idea is to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition happens September 1.
