okubo studio
I combine my knowledge and talent making Scenography and set designs.
I chose Zürich as my home and work city. I am inspired in the architecture of Zumthor and the cinema of Greenaway.
my life orbits on the idea that everything is valuable for inspiration and whatever the tools you have you will achieve something fabulous.
I love the idea of giving the best being projects that inspires me. I search always to make fine and clean projects with some drops of humor.
I have a Philosophy of creating reusable Scenography. Making the best design possible for the functionality of the performance, but also tracing past scenography in warehouses and studios so parts of it could be re-used, transformed and recycled giving a new meaning to pre-existing object and also to enhance the new design. This is a really important matter for my work. The materials in set design and Scenography make so much waste and take so much space and 80 % is never re-used or transformed. Therefore i aim also to tackle this problem by embracing existing materials into the new design.
