Consider a structure where a line passing through a hollow is supported by the weight of an object. The lines boldly divide the space diagonally. Although the line may appear light, it receives significant physical force. However, the massive object remains fixed in position due to its weight and can provide firm support for the line. By sharing the role of supporting, each independent object creates a relationship with one other, resulting in a kind of tension between them. Ryuichi Kozeki believex that this tension becomes one of the roots of beauty here. Even today, his curiosity about the relationship between the “appearanc”" of things and the space and people around them remains unchanged. His curiosity is rooted in shapes’ formation and origin and their relationships. He strongly believes that the aesthetic element only arises as a result of that. He attempted to concretely express relationships and tension as tangible objects through lighting and to embody a part of the development process.

Kozeki sees the role of design as expressing the discovery and renewal of value. He has a strong interest in the fundamental principles and basic structures of things, pursuing essential simplicity. In recent years, he has also explored the concept of Deconstructed Minimalism.
