After graduating from the West Verginia University in the USA, in 1995 Yoko Takirai moved to Florence to study at the jewellery school "Le Arti Orafe", where she obtained a diploma in goldsmith's art, jewellery design, stone setting and engraving. This was followed by a diploma in project jewellery design from the Istituto d'Arte di Firenze. Between 1998 and 2000 Yoko taught goldsmith's art at the "Alchimia" school, shortly afterwards becoming assistant to Giampaolo Babetto. Another important artistic collaboration took place in 1998 with Pietro Pellitteri, art director of the Pellitteri Design. In 2002, Yoko founded Takirai Design in Florence, a company specializing in contemporary jewellery design. Pietro in 2012 leaves the Pellitteri Design to engage full-time in the field of contemporary jewellery. Since 2012 they are member of AGC the contemporary jewellery association in Italy.

Takirai Design creates innovative jewellery. Sometimes enigmatic, sometimes in their geometric forms, their jewelleries reveal in the moment of encounter with the body, a lightness and elegance. Thanks to a devotion to workshop research, their jewellery manages to achieve forms, which are pure, elegant andÊcomfortable.
