About us
Tokyo Design Studio is an established brand renowned for its refined aesthetics, contemporary Japanese-inspired design and exceptional quality.
Designed in both the Netherlands and Japan, the brand sits at the intersection of two design worlds, blending centuries of Japanese porcelain tradition with a European design sensibility. This cross-cultural approach is what gives Tokyo Design Studio its distinct identity, rooted in genuine collaboration rather than imitation.
At the heart of the company are the close, long-term partnerships we've built with a select group of factories in Japan. Our on-site colleagues work hand-in-hand with our design team in the Netherlands, a relationship built on trust and mutual respect that shapes every collection we create.
Today, Tokyo Design Studio is found in households and hospitality venues around the world, including some of the world's most renowned department stores. Wherever our tableware ends up, it carries the same values: quality, respect and a genuine commitment to doing things properly, from the factory floor to your table.
In Australia, Tokyo Design Studio products are officially distributed by H.A.G. Import Corpn. (Australia) Pty. Ltd.

Production
Made in Japan
Most products are crafted in Japan using artisanal methods perfected over 400 years. Pad printed items are baked twice, then carefully decorated one colour at a time, glazed, and baked again. Each step is subject to meticulous quality control, ensuring that every piece meets the highest standards of craftsmanship and authenticity.
Sustainability and integrity sit at the heart of how we work. We recycle materials wherever possible, use newspaper for packaging and remain mindful of water usage throughout production. We also hold our factories to fair and safe working standards, because we believe the people behind our products deserve the same care and respect as the pieces they create.
