Om samlarobjektet

Oki Sato, founder and creative director of the Japanese design group nendo, was trained as an architect and has since developed a reputation for designing objects that are both deceptively simple and poetic. Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake challenged nendo to create something with the byproduct from the textile manufacturing process of creating pleats in clothing; the resulting Cabbage chair repurposes that waste material. Sato peels away the individual layers of small, soft sheets until a charming seating surface is revealed.

The Architect of Simplicity: The Origins of Oki Sato

Born in the vibrant, multicultural landscape of Toronto, Canada, in 1977, Oki Sato carries a unique cultural duality that would later become the cornerstone of his design language. His journey took him from North America to the heart of Tokyo, where he immersed himself in the rigorous discipline of architecture at Waseda University. It was within these academic halls that the seeds of what would become nendo were sown. Upon graduating, Sato did not merely enter the professional world; he transformed it by founding his own design firm in 2002, establishing a studio that would redefine the boundaries between product, furniture, and fine art.

A Dialogue Between East and West

The essence of Sato’s work lies in a profound, silent dialogue between two distinct aesthetic worlds: the meticulous, understated elegance of Japanese minimalism and the functional, warm simplicity of Scandinavian design. This fusion creates an atmosphere where objects do not demand attention but rather invite contemplation. Through nendo, Sato explores the concept of "visible structures," stripping away the superfluous to reveal the poetic core of an object. His designs often feature a sense of lightness and playfulness, yet they are anchored by a structural integrity that speaks to his architectural training. Whether it is a piece of furniture or a large-scale installation, the work possesses a rhythmic quality that feels both contemporary and timeless.

Global Impact and the Evolution of nendo

As nendo evolved from a fledgling studio into a globally recognized design powerhouse, Sato’s influence expanded far beyond the borders of Japan. Supported by a dedicated leadership team including Akihiro Ito and Takaaki Hama, the firm has successfully collaborated with numerous international brands, bringing their signature aesthetic to a worldwide audience. The studio's achievements are marked by a multitude of prestigious awards that recognize not just the beauty of their creations, but their innovative approach to problem-solving through design. Today, Sato’s legacy is found in the subtle details of everyday objects, reminding us that true innovation often resides in the most delicate and seemingly simple forms.
