Shown below Limited edition 19pcs ‘Kingyo’ by Hidetomo Kimura  - Height 50cm, Diam 40cm

About: Hidetomo Kimura was born in Tokyio in 1972. He is an aquarium designer. He creates fish tanks, with magical atmospheres and futuristic shapes, emphasized with colored light games and with the charm of the sea flora and fauna.

He developed the interior design for “Aquarium Art”, “Sky Aquarium” and “Art Exhibition Aquarium”, a special event that shows the Kingyo, very popular fishes in Japan. He is also involved in some projects for the Japanese branch of the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute Foundation (Florida, USA) and One Ocean Project, to preserve marine environment. He started to cooperate with Venini in 2012.

‘Cameo Series’ was inspired by investigating the ornament & traditions of English 19th century cameo glass. The imagery follows the familiar motif of the bird as it escapes from its 19th century scenery and explores new surroundings. The decorative floral motifs, inspired by original cameo designs, have been infiltrated by a modern aesthetic.
