Keiji Takeuchi

Keiji Takeuchi was born in Fukuoka, Japan, and spent most of his youth in New Zealand. After completing a bachelor’s degree in product design, he returned to Japan, where he worked for Naoto Fukasawa. In 2012, he moved to Milan, establishing his own design office in 2015. His way of approaching design emphasizes the essentiality of things, creating a spontaneous dialogue between objects and our daily lives. He has collaborated with many well-regarded brands in various countries and continents, including Millerknoll in the US, Fredericia in Denmark, Nine in the UK, Boffi De Padova in Italy and Karimoku in Japan. In 2024 he curated his first show when he orchestrated the “Walking Sticks & Canes” exhibition at the Triennale Milano as part of Milan Design Week.
