Itoh
0 resultsBorn in Tokyo in 1933, Yasuhiko graduated from the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at the prestigious Waseda University in 1958. He apprenticed in the studio of Kanetsugo Ito, an important architect who first introduced Antonì Gaudi to Japan. He won an award for his bookcase, coming third in the individual furniture section. Neither the bookcase nor the chaise longue was ever produced on an industrial scale. It wasn't until 2016 that the bookcase was industrially produced, in a limited series of 100 numbered pieces, as part of the Molteni Heritage Collection with the reference number MHC.2. Itoh returned to Italy in April 1960 and remained there until May 1961, where he worked in Giò Ponti's workshop. De Cantù Itoh returned to Japan and completed his master's degree in construction engineering. He began working with Toshiro Yamashita, known in his homeland for having designed and built the first skyscraper on Japanese soil, in Tokyo, namely the Kasumigaseki building (1960 design 1964 end construction). Itoh was part of the project's engineering team and played an active role, temporarily leaving the design to one side. Sadly, Itoh never saw Kasumigaseki completed. He died unexpectedly at the age of just 30, one of the most promising Japanese architects of modern architecture.
