Studio
Looking beyond disciplines to engage with what is essential
Space, material, and technology do not exist in isolation.
They find meaning through their relationships with one another.
Starting from design, ZKI design moves beyond disciplinary boundaries
to uncover overlooked value and connect it to forms that lead toward the future.

Takuya Shiotsuki
Representative / Designer
After studying architecture and urban design at Chiba University and its graduate school,
he worked at Takenaka Corporation as a first-class architect,
where he was involved in complex facade and interior design proposals
using 3DCG, programming, and environmental simulation.
Since becoming independent, his work has expanded from residential-scale spaces to furniture and product design.
In recent years, he has also been exploring products and material expressions
using recycled and unused materials.
