Collection: Hisakazu Shimizu

Winner of Germany’s iF design award, Hisakazu Shimizu has extensive design experience with such products as office-use copying machines, cameras and video camcorders. As chief designer of Canon’s IXUS series of compact digital cameras, he was instrumental in helping the series capture the top share of the global market. He has not only achieved outstanding business results, but also gained an excellent reputation within the industrial design field, as evidenced by the numerous honors he has received, including Germany’s prestigious iF Award. Shimizu has also been active as an independent designer since the early 1990s. In addition to Ice Cream Spoon, which has been a long seller for more than 10 years now, several of his designs are on display at the Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum.
