Nomadic Collective

Nomadic is a Japanese design collective of four members — Shohei Kasamatsu, Itaru Shinagawa, Ryoma Maeda and Takumi Fukushima — with a background in industrial design, working between individual pieces, collaborative projects and exhibitions.

The collective states that its work has no single purpose or fixed form: what matters is the structure and the method by which things come into being, while the final shape stays open to variables such as other people and locality — a dynamic behaviour it sees as a force for survival. Nomadic reframes design not merely as a profession or an industry but as creativity for living, and its studio projects let ideas, materials and methods intersect so that distinct practices overlap without dissolving individual voices.
