WONDERWALL / Masamichi Katayama
Founded in 2000, Masamichi Katayama, founder of interior design firm
Wonderwall, elicits an uninhibited sense of energy towards design even in
Japan, where architecture and interior design is known for being one of the
most exhilarating in the world. Katayama's interest in design has always
been broad, respecting conventional and traditional aspects of architecture,
while believing in breaking boundaries. A "total concept" designer,
Katayama's intensions are focused in creating an environment that would
touch the subconscious of the consumer and occupant.
While the firm is best known for retail design, Wonderwall has extensively
built a wide range of pursuits in design including architectural direction,
and product design.
His work has expanded to Japan, Hong Kong, China, Russia, France, England
and the United states. In 2007, Katayama was honoured as the 'Interior
Design Firm of the Year' through The Great Indoors Award, a biennial
international interior design award. (The Netherlands/Mr. Rolf Fehlbaum,
chairman of International Jury).
In 2008, his second monograph "Wonderwall Masamichi Katayama Projects No.2" (Frame Publishers) was launched in September at specialty boutique colette
in Paris, which was redesigned by Wonderwall, followed by the rest of
Europe, the United States, and then Japan.
