Yoshiaki Ito Design

An award-winning designer. All my designs merge a contemporary Brooklyn sensibility with Japanese aesthetic traditions in unexpected ways.

The latest raw sample pictures from the manufacturer have come. Their quality finally met my expectations! Almost identical with the original 3D models. Most people probably didn't understand which parts were even wrong but that's how accurate this product has to be in order to fit into the same size of box. I'm waiting for colored samples now. Almost ready to launch! 最新のプロダクトサンプルです! #morphits #animals #woodentoys #tiger #hippo #pig #designertoys #puzzle https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpniy1TSqK-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We made Yosegi Stool with a special Hinoki Cypress version for my client 212box. This one color version is as beautiful as the two colors version! ニューヨークのクライアント212box よりヒノキのみのバージョンのスツールのオーダーをもらいました。いつもの高橋木工さんに作成してもらいましたが、単色のバージョンも良いです。#212box #woodenfurniture #designerfurniture (Imabari, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmP8O_WSQmr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is how Yosegi Stools are made. Both the latest technology and master craftsman skills are needed, in order to make these perfect seamless wooden pair stools.. It cannot be either of them. Very uniquely but precisely made. #funiture #designer #woodshop #5axismachining (at Imabari, Ehime) https://www.instagram.com/p/CltpS4zSAM_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Morphits Monkey is traveling by ANA and enjoying the trip. I wish ANA would become a sponsor for Morphits. 😃 モンキーは全日空で旅をしています。#woodenpuzzle #Moprhits #Monkey #designertoy #ana #allnipponairways (at Sky) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj_zyakyBsB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My friend in Japan asked me if I could show my studio to her. Here is where I originally created Morphits. 友人にスタジオがどうしても見たいと言われちゃいました。😂 ここでMorphitsをデザインしました。(散らかってるので白黒で撮影) #YoshiakiIto #designstudio #toydesigner (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj8-N7Uyq8N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Taking a picture of the original Morphits Monkey heads. There was no mouth at the first prototype. With the mouth the Monkey became much more expensive 🙂. スタジオでオリジナルのモンキーの最初の試作品の写真を撮影。口が有るだけで随分表情が豊かに成りました。#Moprhits #Monkey #designertoy #woodenpuzzle (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj58NX0h5WS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Kumiko Chair is the most interesting design / art project I have ever done with 212box architecture in NYC. It's still just an objet but I would like to make it to a real chair in the future! #212box #kumiko #desing #japaneseart #chair #objet (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChE-uxkJE8g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
