ABOUT US
STUDIO THE BLUE BOY
STUDIO THE BLUE BOY is a Japanese interior design brand that brings together traditional Japanese craftsmanship and a contemporary design sensibility. Founded by Keisuke Shoda, an art director, graphic designer, and interior designer, the brand draws inspiration from everyday surroundings, nature, human connections, and diverse cultural influences. These impressions, emotions, and memories are translated into colors, materials, and forms, creating objects that blend naturally into contemporary living spaces while bringing a sense of playfulness and individuality to everyday life. At the heart of the brand lies an ongoing dialogue with skilled artisans across Japan, built upon years of trust and collaboration. From rugs woven in Kyoto using New Zealand wool and delicately blended incense crafted in Tochigi, to handcrafted incense holders made with traditional Hasami porcelain techniques in Nagasaki and tatami produced using time-honored craftsmanship in Fukuoka, each piece reflects the unique materials, skills, and heritage of its place of origin. By respecting these traditions while embracing creative freedom and a contemporary perspective, STUDIO THE BLUE BOY explores new possibilities in materials, craftsmanship, and design. Rather than simply preserving tradition, the brand seeks to reinterpret it through the sensibilities and lifestyles of today. Through its distinctive creative vision, STUDIO THE BLUE BOY continues to share the richness and evolving possibilities of Japanese craftsmanship with the world.
