Reiko Kaneko
How many pairs of shoes or glasses do you own?
One pair of very old glasses, and it’s mainly flat shoes that I own, twenty or so. But I really need to go through them.
Think of something else that ICFF can stand for.
I C Frosties and Fun things….
If you could build a piece of furniture out of any material in the world, what would it be?
Crystals and like gems and things like that. Doing something fabulous, anything sparkly, I’m such a girl! Anything with big facets like on a diamond ring.
What is the desktop picture on your computer?
I have it all changing the whole time, I think it’s thunder and lightning at the moment – that’s why my plate is called Crack of Thunder.
Do you sketch with a particular kind of pen or notebook?
I like felt tip pens.
When did you know you wanted to be a designer?
I think I’ve always known I wanted to be a designer. I wanted to be an artist all my life but then I figured that’s not, about age twelve I decided it wasn’t very economical. Van Gogh was just so poor!
What’s the favorite thing you’ve seen here so far?
Has to be Tina’s cup. I’m a big fan of her cups. To be honest I haven’t looked round.
If you weren’t a designer, what would you be?
I’ve always wanted to be an astronaut.
What is your least favorite color?
Orange. There’s just something about orange. I got traumatized: I had a bright orange shirt when I was ten.
Do you have a hero?
I love Jurgen Bey. I just really love his stuff; it’s so organic and natural, and a clever use of minimal materials. Love him.
