About
SOTANAKA is a Tokyo-based design studio, established in 2020 by independent designer Soichiro Tanaka.
Our practice is motivated by a desire to reimagine and transform relationships with others, with society, with the environment, and with our evolving selves. Understanding that our world is fundamentally constituted through such connections, we approach each project as an opportunity to explore these essential bonds and create new possibilities for how we might relate to one another and to the world we inhabit.
We view our design as independent platforms that spark infinite dialogues. Selection of materials, form, and manufacturing processes are inherently linguistic. By drawing foundational vocabulary from personal reflection, philosophy, and interdisciplinary experiments, we decode and rebuild the contexts around us.
