Tokio. is a design brand founded by Gorazd Malačič in 2011, blending Japanese design principles with advanced technology. Known for its refined, minimalist approach, the brand creates high-quality lighting and furniture solutions. Tokio.'s designs emphasize precision craftsmanship, appealing to professionals across various fields. The brand continues to push the boundaries of innovation in design, showcasing its work at international design festivals.

Tokio. presents a spatial installation in dialogue with glass artist Elis Monsport, bringing together key pieces including the UEBU Hachi composition, Mori shelving, Totem table lamp, and a series of carbon fiber lighting objects. Through the interplay of contrasting materials - glass, carbon fiber, aluminum, and wood - the installation explores how distinct elements coexist within a unified spatial language. Precision meets tactility, reflection meets structure. Light is treated as a constructed element, extending beyond function into form. Each piece holds its own presence, yet contributes to a larger composition defined by rhythm, balance, and restraint. Where material clarity shapes space.

The collection is developed under the creative direction of Gabriel Tan, in close collaboration with Morodomi's craftsmen and an international roster of designers, with the aim of creating new Japanese design icons. Each piece balances delicacy with structural precision, with careful attention to wood joinery, combining hand and machine production in equal measure.

Lasting change begins at the smallest scale. No detail is too little, no problem too small, no emotion trivial and no person irrelevant. In a time defined by environmental and social challenges, design becomes a tool for care, attention, and responsibility, where every step matters and every effort counts. At Lund University School of Industrial Design, education is grounded in curiosity, critical thinking, and real-world engagement. Students question, test, and refine, engaging with people and contexts, bringing together diverse perspectives. The school fosters a new generation of designers who create with intent and awareness. Their work reflects a shift from producing more to creating meaningful impact. Because Every Thing Matters.
