BCXSY

BCXSY are an Amsterdam-based design collective, founded in early 2007 by Boaz Cohen (born in Israel, 1978) and Sayaka Yamamoto (born in Japan, 1984). Cohen moved to the Netherlands in 2001 and studied at the Design Academy Eindhoven from 2001 until 2006. Yamamoto graduated from the Hiko Mizuno Jewelry College in Tokyo in 2005, before moving to the Netherlands, graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven’s Man & Identity program in 2008. They both take an interdisciplinary approach to design, focusing on furniture, installation and lighting design.

The work of BCXSY is delicate with an added essence of wit and humour. Their focus lies in showcasing emotion and enhancing the human experience. BCXSY’s work is a consistently contemporary expression, with modern-day technology often standing alongside traditional materials and craftsmanship.

"The interdisciplinary approach of our studio is one of the things I cherish the most - it provides me with a seamless continuation of my passion for investigating new territories, reflecting on new challenges, and envisioning new possibilities." - Boaz Cohen
