Rising star probably isn’t an accurate account of Oki Sato… it’s more like risen star! Collaborating with a very unique set of clients (Walt Disney, Tod’s and Louis Vuitton to name a few), Mr. Sato is, at the ripe age of 37, well on his way to creating a global force. His company, Nendo (Japanese for “modeling clay”) is ever evolving and quite minimal in design. To have your designs displayed in a place like Paris’ Centre Pompidou is quite an accomplishment. For us, it’s the way he seamlessly combines Japanese and Scandinavian forms that’s most appealing… we can’t wait for more!
