nendo design studio is synonymous with designer Oki Sato, born in 1977 in Toronto, Canada.
In 2002 he founded nendo design studio. nendo means ’clay’ in Japanese – or more specifically, modelling clay such as plasticine. A unique material that makes it easy to do creative modelling. As Oki Sato explains: ”The name is appropriate for a studio that needs to develop design solutions for a host of very different clients”
Oki Sato does not look at design like many iconic designers, who have focused on the mantra, ’form follows function’. He also looks at the history behind the product and its design.
His expression is minimalist, but contains small signs and details that immediately arouse memories. He employs soft, friendly shapes which make his designs appear comfortable from first sight.

> NJP Wall Lamp with long arm
> NJP Wall Lamp with short arm
After the success of the NJP table lamp, launched in 2016, Louis Poulsen has decided to expand the family by adding a
floor lamp
and 2 wall lamps; one with a short arm and the other with a long articulated arm. The shade of the NJP is shaped to fit perfectly in the palm of the hand. It has a switch to select between two light intensities with a single touch. The rear opening of the shade towards the arm provides a wide amplitude of movement and good ventilation for LEDs. Ultimate refinement, the lamp turns off by itself if you forget to do so.

LIGHT WITH A FLICK OF THE WRIST
Versatility and an intuitive understanding of how the lamp is used have been key themes in Oki Sato's work. The head is shaped to make it easy to adjust the lamp and switch it on and off using one hand.
The two arms provide great movement and many stepless positioning options, allowing even large tables to be optimally illuminated.
Two light settings (100% and 50%), making it easy to adapt the light to alternating work with a monitor or documents.
