About

Tokyo Design Studio brings Japanese design to the modern table.

Rooted in the beauty of Japanese craftsmanship and shaped by a contemporary European perspective, we create tableware that feels both authentic and relevant. Our collections draw on Japan’s rich visual heritage - from enduring patterns and artisanal techniques to a deep appreciation for simplicity, balance and detail - reinterpreted for modern living.

Every piece is designed to make an impression without demanding attention. Considered forms, distinctive decoration and quality craftsmanship come together in tableware made for everyday moments, special occasions and professional settings alike. From home dining rooms to restaurants and hospitality spaces, our collections are created for chefs, hosts and anyone who appreciates a beautifully set table.

Today, Tokyo Design Studio is represented by leading department stores, retailers and professional partners around the world. As part of the CNB family, we combine the strength of an established international company with a distinctly individual design identity.

Production

Made in Japan

 At CNB Enterprises, we pride ourselves on working with a select group of factories that embrace traditional, artisanal methods of ceramic production. Each piece is carefully crafted by hand, and the glazing process, along with the meticulous double firing in the kiln, ensures the highest quality. Our dedicated colleagues on-site collaborate closely with our design teams in the Netherlands, fostering long-term partnerships built on trust and mutual respect.

Sustainability is at the core of our operations. While some of our methods may seem traditional, they reflect our commitment to reducing waste. We recycle materials whenever possible, use newspapers for packaging, and are mindful of water usage. This sustainable approach may be ingrained in the process, but it also signifies our conscientious attitude toward the environment and our dedication to reducing waste.

We also prioritize the well-being of the people involved in the production process. Our factories maintain fair and safe working conditions, ensuring that our colleagues are treated with respect and dignity. This transparency is important to us, as we understand that the working conditions in production facilities are a concern for many.

Through careful craftsmanship, sustainable practices, and a strong commitment to ethical standards, we bring you products that not only reflect the beauty of Japanese ceramics but also embody our values of quality, respect, and responsibility.

At Tokyo Studio Design, creativity and craftsmanship come together through our in-house graphic design team. Working closely with our product designers, our team develops each collection with a clear and distinctive visual identity, from the initial concept to the final details.

We believe that packaging is an important part of the product experience. That is why we design our packaging in-house as well, creating unique solutions that complement each collection while reflecting the character and quality of our products. Every detail, from typography and colour to materials and finishing, is carefully considered.

By keeping the creative process close to our collections, we are able to maintain consistency and develop designs that feel both distinctive and true to our brand. This close collaboration allows us to create products and packaging that are not only functional, but also tell a story and add value to the overall experience.
