Setsu and Shinobu Ito

Setsu and Shinobu Ito, both graduates from the University in Tsukuba, Japan, established their design studio in Milan in 1997.

Currently, they work as consultants alternating between Milan and Tokyo, collaborating with prominent companies such as Edra, De Padova, IXC, Toyo kitchen & living, Nava, Sony CP Laboratories, Richard Ginori, Tiffany, Mitsubishi, TDK, Hitachi, Sharp, and Canon. Their designs have not only been showcased and celebrated in Europe and Japan but have also earned them multiple awards. Significantly, some of their pieces are part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Munich, marking their impact on contemporary design

The collaboration between Setsu and Shinobu Ito and Fiam Italia has indeed produced remarkable results. Their combined efforts have led to the creation of works that are both delicate and beautiful, showcasing an excellent manipulation of form and aesthetic. Noteworthy pieces from this collaboration include:

• Toki Side Table: A design that blends modernity with functional elegance.
• Inori Bookshelf: A versatile and minimalist shelving unit that enhances any space.
• En Coffee Table: A beautifully designed centerpiece that combines sleek lines with the transparency of glass.

These pieces highlight the successful integration of Japanese design sensibilities with Italian craftsmanship, resulting in furniture that is not only visually appealing but also embodies practical sophistication.
