片岡由梨香
A candle artist who pursues "quiet white space created by lighting a fire". He switched from the world of design to the path of candlelight, and has been based in Matsumoto, Shinshu since 2020.
In "Candle Night", which combines handmade expression with candles as tools that accompany daily life, installations centered on the relationship between space and lighting are developed through exhibitions at department stores and other places. In addition, students from Japan and abroad gather at the learning house he runs, and he proposes a new way of life through candles.
Incorporated in 2024. Currently, he crosses three lines, including the fragrance brand "KOTO OFFICIAL", and practices production, education, and brand management in an integrated manner. It aims not only to provide simple products, but also to create experiential value that brings about sensory changes that put "punctuation" on modern life.
