Summer Studio designs and builds furniture in Los Angeles, creating pieces that invite stillness and simplicity into daily life. The studio's philosophy is grounded in achieving calm and balance through thoughtful design. Every item is handcrafted, ensuring a close connection to the process and a high standard of quality.
Founder Jack Sasaki's creative journey began in Tokyo and was later refined with a Master of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania. After a career in high-end residential development, he dedicated over a decade to woodworking. This background informs his approach to furniture as a medium where design becomes intimately human.
The studio's work is defined by its thoughtful simplicity and sculptural form. Each piece is deliberately considered, from its joints and curves to its final surface, reflecting a belief that furniture can be both functional and expressive. This commitment to lasting quality results in pieces that exist at the intersection of utility and art.
