Making and materiality plays an important role in the design processes. Feeling the need for sustainable material sourcing, we create products and spatial interventions in a regenerative way so that they can be passed on to future generations.
The studio works and believes in designing across the margins. We cherish the added value of multi-interdisciplinary practice, and has a collaborative attitude.
Finding and bringing sensibility into our living environment.
STUDIO EMIT is a design practice led by Emi Tsutsushio. She holds a BA in Environmental Information at Keio University (JP) and completed her MA in Interior Architecture at Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht (NL).
She combines her multidisciplinary background and interest in kansei engineering, design research, spatial design and craftsmanship into her practice.
She formed a multidisciplinary collective Flatto81 project in 2009, designing the potentials of botanical colours on paper. From 2022 onwards, she conducts an experimental research on temporary and embodied slow space through Space for Slowing Down project.
Having worked with various design studio’s and cultural/art organisations in the Netherlands for 18 years, she shifted her focus to handwork in 2024 and is currently designing objects by hand, engaging in a more tactile working environment.
