Shoichi Uchiyama is a lighting designer, born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. In 1977, he founded his own design studio, Shoichi Uchiyama Design Office, where he produces functional and minimalistic lighting solutions that implement traditional Japanese aesthetics.

Uchiyama creates glare-free and indirect lighting, believing the lighting effect determines whether the final product is high quality. For this reason, he examines the light intensity, the colour of the light and the shadows it produces. His work has resulted in Uchiyama winning various design awards; including the iF Award in Germany and the Good Design Award in Japan.

"My aim is to achieve ideal light distribution and seek glare-free illumination by perfectly understanding the optical characteristics of the source, I try to make people and things look just as they are and to create a pleasant atmosphere with scrupulous care for the intensity and colour of light as well as the texture and shading on the surface to which light is delivered." - Shoichi Uchiyama
