Tadao Sakamoto 坂本 忠雄

Tadao Sakamoto, the visionary behind KNIZIES™, was born in Kyoto, Japan, where he grew up surrounded by the harmonious aesthetics of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Inspired by the philosophies of wabi-sabi (beauty in imperfection) and ma (the use of space), Tadao pursued architecture at Tokyo University of the Arts, later refining his craft at École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Gaining international recognition for his minimalist yet expressive designs, Tadao blends organic forms with futuristic materials, earning accolades for his commitment to sustainability and innovation.

Passionate about environmental responsibility, Tadao pioneered a technique that fuses 3D printing with 100% recycled plastics, crafting limited-edition, sculptural home décor that merges high-end aesthetics with eco-conscious values. His designs evoke the serenity of nature while embracing the bold lines of modern architecture, making each piece a true collector’s item.
