Oki Sato, Chief Designer and Founder of nendo.
Born in 1977, he received his Master of Architecture
degree from Waseda University, Tokyo, in 2002,
and founded his design studio ”nendo” that same
year. His activity in the design world has not been
limited to any one area, but is rather multifarious,
spanning from graphic and product design to
installations, windows and furniture – even reaching
into the realm of architecture. Listed by Newsweek
magazine as one of the “100 Most-Respected
Japanese”, he is a recipient of many international
design awards. He recently designed the 2021
Tokyo Summer Olympics Cauldron and also holds
the position as General Producer of the Japanese
Government Pavilion, 2025 Osaka Expo. Nendo
designs can be found in the Museum of Modern
Art in New York, as well as in the Musée des Arts
Décoratifs and Centre Pompidou in Paris.
