Fumihiko Sano Studio

A plaza where you can’t feel the difference no matter which station you get off. A cityscape lined with standardized buildings that do not change wherever you go. Originally, there was a history and culture unique to the region that many people had cultivated over a long period of time while adapting to the natural environment. Once they are lost, they cannot be easily recovered.

Fumihiko Sano is an artist and designer from Japan, born in 1981 in Nara Prefecture. Sano began his career as an apprentice as a Sukiya carpenter at Nakamura Souji Komuten in Kyoto. After working at a design office, he created an independent studio in 2011.  

Utilizing the construction methods, materials, and sense of space gained from the onsite experience, Sano utilizes the Japanese culture of today as a basis for concepts and designs. In 2016, he visited 16 countries around the world and carried out a project to create a tea room as a place of hospitality in each location. Aiming to create new value for the culture of various regions, he continues to carry out cross-disciplinary works in architecture, interior design, product design, and artwork.

Along with nature and the environment, the designer will create a unique space from the garden and environment that can only be created in this place.Fumihiko Sano Studio “excavate” and “rediscover” the history and culture that has been accumulated by the land and people that have been nurtured so far, which have disappeared, disappeared, and are about to be lost. The essence of “editing” and becoming part of the next culture that is spun not only in the past but also in the present. They are creating spaces and works with the aim of creating such new value.
