Curiosity is a Tokyo-based multidisciplinary studio founded by renowned French designer Gwenael Nicolas. The studio is constantly redefining the boundaries of design, from interior design to architecture and product design. Not in an abstract way, but by working with a large number of companies and customers to create new products, develop new materials and define new design logos.Gwenael Nicolas was invited by Yinjispace to teach online at 14:00 on June 20 (Sunday).

Gwenael Nicolas was born in France in 1966. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Interior Design from Paris E.S.A.G in 1988 and a Master of Industrial Design from the Royal College of Art in London in 1991. In 2004, he obtained a Master of Arts in Interior Design of Paris E.S.A.G.

While studying at the Royal College of Art in London, Gwenael Nicolas met several Japanese designers and architects and became fascinated by the oriental art he designed. Immigrated to Japan in 1991. And in 1998 CURIOSITY INC was established. Through his unique and avant-garde interior design, he created a fresh shopping experience for Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Yves Saint Laurent and Shu Uemura.

When Gwenael Nicolas started to design, he was obsessed with making and constructing a space, but he thought that he missed the theme and meaning of the design. Influenced by Japanese design, Gwenael Nicolas began to consider the feeling of the moment when people enter the space or use the product, as well as the emotions and experiences they want to express.
