Tokyo-based Triple Bottom Line has collaborated with a wide range of clients around the world, providing comprehensive support from strategic development to final output. Specialising in product and furniture design, the studio works on cross-disciplinary projects. Its goal is not only to address current challenges, but also to tackle fundamental long-term issues and strive for sustainable value creation. Its design philosophy is rooted in everyday emotions and impulses, with an emphasis on the inherent expressiveness of materials and a focus on simple forms.

Standardising components and reducing uncertainty ensures consistent quality without relying on specialised craftsmanship. Design becomes more than form—it is a framework connecting technical, cultural, and social aspects. But how is aesthetics defined here? Unlike art or craft, where beauty comes from expression or handwork, industrial design responds to external demands like cost and efficiency. This project challenges the idea that such beauty can't be industrially reproduced. By treating subtle handwork-like variations—often seen as flaws—as design parameters, it reveals a quiet, non–verbal beauty and expands industrial design’s expressive potential.
