ABOUT

Company Profile

The K/O Design studio is architectural design company, established 1993 by Kunihide Oshinomi. And we have tried all kinds of design relating to the formation of human environments - from skyscrapers, to residences, furniture, door handles and even fashions. Because we do believe that, architecture is only a small part of the human environment, and it may cause a confusion if we treat architecture as a special factor from design point of view. The K/O Design studio is challenging to design human surroundings to create highly sophisticated environmental harmony.
