the design labo

the design labo is a design office in Chuo ward, Tokyo, founded in 2012 by Satoshi Itasaka as the architectural counterpart to his product label h220430.

Product work for overseas companies has been shown in galleries in New York and at international art events, and several pieces are held in museum collections.
