Takeshi Miyakawa
Miyakawa is an artist and designer based in Brooklyn, New York. Born and educated in Tokyo, Japan, Takeshi began his career in construction for Toyo Construction Corp in 1985 after architecture school. In 1989, he moved to New York City, working as a cabinet maker for Stephen Rohner Furniture. Soon after, in 1992, he began making architectural models for Rafael Vinoly Architects until 2017.
Throughout his extensive and varied experience in design and fabrication, his personal works often resonate his education in architecture, as well as an affinity for abstracting nature. His profession as a model-maker has instructed his tactile approach to furniture and form making. Today, Takeshi Miyakawa Design continues a lifetime of experience in art, construction, and architecture, building custom specialty millwork for commercial and residential spaces, as well as his personal art and furniture pieces.
