ATELIER matic is a Japanese design studio founded by Sho Sotoyama in 2012. While designing stores and spaces, the studio creates products based on the concept of what can be truly enjoyed and comfortably integrated into daily life. Specialising in the fusion of natural and artificial materials, the studio creates objects and applied arts using Japanese domestic stones, wood, acrylics, and more. Additionally, original terrazzo materials are developed and used to produce furniture and art pieces.
To create materials, to combine and contrast different materials, pursuing their shape. The series It's Like Something consists of unique materials and forms. Handmade and deeply rooted in both the primitive and the contemporary, these pieces of furniture embody a craftsmanship that cannot be replicated through machine production.
