The word Nendo means 'children's clay in Japanese. Nendos motto is to be free-formed flexible and adaptable in the design scene. Their brand analysis and overall strategy are based on communication. This fifth volume of 'Nendo Works' covers the years 2010-2011 and features the next generation of wooden book cases and chord chairs. It also highlights the interior design of two shops: the 24 Issey Miyake shop, and the new Puma House in Tokyo.

Nendo Works 2010-2011

Oki Sato

Nendo, the design office established by Oki Sato, produces furniture, installations and other objects distinguished by their light construction and minimal, seemingly ethereal nature. At times functional, sculptural, or simply decorative and abstract, the startling white to crisp black forms resonate with the power of simple geometry combined with tactile precision and execution. Photographer Kenichi Higuchi here captures a fascinating array of objects made by nendo in different settings and site installations, from museum galleries, where they are juxtaposed with art historical contexts, to the workshop floor, permitting glimpses of the creative process.

<p>Canadian-born Oki Sato received his MA in Architecture from Waseda University in Tokyo in 2002 and established his design office, nendo, the same year. He prides himself on the ability to give form to a clients desires, those unspoken wishes, and making them realise that the result is what they truly wanted all along. This present, as he calls it, is offered to them in a white box a model of an interior. From shops and offices to cafés and installations, Satos mastery of miniature creation is collected in 500 pages of photos from 38 projects and designs, accompanied by detailed information about each. Although the books dimensions are small, within its thickness lies wonder.</p>
