about Rikako Nagashima

With graphic design at the core, the designer’s activities include identity design, sign planning, book design, and spatial design. Environmental considerations are foremost in her designs, and she works with an awareness of the environmental damage caused by design, such as intentionally incorporating ink stains and scrap paper generated in the printing process as a pattern to avoid creating waste (David Lynch, "From the Fringes of the Mind"), spatial design that uses offcut fabric from product manufacture (DESCENTE BLANC, "10th exhibition"), or textile design in which ink stains on scrap paper are printed on fabric made from recycled plastic bottles (kinnand, "Scrap_CMYK").
