Work for Clients
Custom pieces and lighting designs commissioned by clients for private residences, businesses, and galleries.
Atelier Hachibunme
Atelier Hachibunme (アトリエ八分目）is a antique furniture shop and art gallery built inside of an old rice polishing factory.
Featuring 7 meter (23 feet) high ceiling and a unique open floor plan with multiple levels, Yuki was commissioned to design and create all the lighting for the interior.
Cylinder light columns, the longest of which is 3.6m (12 feet), were created to help tie the different levels of the space together.
Hospital Clinic Lighting Design
Interior lighting design for local clinic.
Lighting features large chouchou pendant light, and bell shaped pendant light.
The front glass doors feature washi circles imbedded into the glass, creating a unique feature — the exterior natural light acts as a lighting feature to be enjoyed from the inside out.
The washi in the front glass also creates a sense of privacy for those inside the clinic, while remaining welcome and transparent for those coming from the outside.
Traditional Japanese Sweets Shop
3.6m (12 feet) Cylinder lamp with 60cm diameter, this piece was designed for a traditional Japanese sweets shop.
Exhibitions

Alongside the calligraphy, the washi art installation featured lamps, light panels, tapestries, and illuminated columns.
Wa (和) Art Exhibition
A community based art exhibition held in a private residence, it featured local artists of many different genres promoting peace.
Washi was featured as art pieces and tapestries, as well as acting as wall panels for other artists work to be displayed against.
Art Pieces
Driftwood
Created using driftwood found at our local beach. This piece was specially created for an event promoting environmental preservation and beach cleanup.
Panels made of washi and bamboo branches make up the lamp.
Chouchou
Created using ultra thin Tengu Choshi washi, it's puffed up to create an unique look both modern and traditional.
Hakusai
Created almost 20 years ago as a university student, this piece was designed to showcase Washi's translucent capabilities. Named for the Napa cabbage with its many layers, this piece may have as many at 4 to 5 sheets layered in any given part, and yet the light shines through and illuminates the whole lamp.
Unity
Made for the 25th Mino Washi Akari Art Exhibition in Mino, Gifu Prefecture.
Won the Art Award.
Using a traditional Japanese origami folding method, each crease was carefully folded, forming the globe.
