{"id":1707,"count":6,"description":"Nendo is synonymous with subtlety, ingenuity, and minimalism with soul. Founded by designer Oki Sato, this Japanese design studio has captivated the design world with creations that combine conceptual lightness, functionality, and a surprising visual narrative. Here, we explore its approach and some of its most representative pieces.\r\n<h2>Nendo: Minimalist Poetry in Contemporary Japanese Design<\/h2>\r\nBorn in Toronto and trained in architecture at Waseda University in Tokyo, Oki Sato founded Nendo in 2002. Since then, the studio has collaborated with renowned brands such as Cappellini, Moroso, Glas Italia, Fritz Hansen, and Flos, developing furniture, objects, interiors, and products with a refined, playful, and distinctly Japanese design language.\r\n\r\nNendo's design philosophy does not seek attention through grand gestures: its strength lies in the details, in small alterations to everyday objects that completely transform the user's perception. Each piece tells a subtle, almost poetic story that reveals itself through careful observation.\r\n\r\nAmong its most representative designs are:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Rokumaru coat rack:<\/strong> A solid wood piece inspired by the strokes of Japanese calligraphy, featuring six branches extending from a central axis with sculptural precision. Its functionality blends seamlessly with an almost graphic presence.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Sail side table:<\/strong> A light, flowing design reminiscent of an unfurled sail, featuring an asymmetrical structure and delicately curved surfaces. An ideal accent table with a distinctive character.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNendo transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary through clear ideas, pure forms, and an endlessly curious perspective. Its work invites contemplation and discovery, turning functional objects into small sensory and intellectual experiences.\r\n<h3>Discover All Nendo Designs<\/h3>","link":"https:\/\/enlineabarcelona.com\/en\/designers\/nendo\/","name":"Nendo","slug":"nendo","taxonomy":"disenadores","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/enlineabarcelona.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/disenadores\/1707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/enlineabarcelona.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/disenadores"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/enlineabarcelona.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/disenadores"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/enlineabarcelona.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?disenadores=1707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
