THE MACHINIST
tells the stories of the last generation of industrial craftsmen in Jalan Besar. Edited by Wendy Chua, Xin Xiaochang and Yuki Mitsuyasu.


YUKI MITSUYASU
About the designer
Yuki Mitsuyasu enjoys fabricating her jewellery pieces by hand as this allows her to come up with spontaneous shapes that could only arise from the organic process, informed by the tacit knowledge in her hands. This is also rooted in her belief that jewellery should look beautiful from every angle with the narrative woven in the material and its function.
In 1987, with her family, Yuki Mitsuyasu relocated to Singapore from Japan where she now calls home. Trained in Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London, Mitsuyasu lived and worked in the United Kingdom where she apprenticed and practised as a jewellery designer. Since her return, her eponymous label-that produces collections such as Love Seed and Shine-has received accolades in the local fashion scene.

Mitsuyasu teaches as an adjunct lecturer at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts.
