ABOUT US
A design unit by Ryoji Ishioka and Sayuri Ishioka, a small design studio dealing with paper and fabric. They produce client work and original products, and continue to present their work on a regular basis.
We will seek the production site as a couple to a family unit with the addition of our daughter.
STATEMENT
When I see amazing things, we feel breathtaking it. We want to feel the same way about our own designs.
I feel that by having someone use it and look at it, it becomes design and art that people can relate to.
