GOBI Designers | Creative Direction & Collaborations

The design story

Two chapters, one evolving vision — where GOBI's design is heading now, and the collaborations that brought it here.

Now · Design Director, 2025—present

Naoki Takizawa

Bringing an international perspective to GOBI's heritage, the Japanese designer explores the relationship between natural cashmere and progressive design. His work opens a new dialogue between Mongolian material knowledge, modern technology and contemporary form.

Tradition becomes most powerful when it continues to evolve.
