Fumitaka Tomita
Born in 1953 in Isezaki City (previously known as Sakai Town), Gunma Prefecture, pioneering wood furniture designer Fumitaka Tomita studied abroad at Carl Malmsten Centre for Wood Technology and Design, founded by representative Swedish furniture designer Carl Malmsten. In 1982, Tomita came back to Japan and established his own studio, producing there various creative furniture such as chairs, tables and cabinets. Generated from his abundant mental picture, Tomita's work brings out the beauty of wood, while it also carries representational power reflecting his brilliant artistry.
