About Mingbo Hou & Ruoyou Zhou Design Team
Mingbo Hou & Ruoyou Zhou is a design studio formed by two graduate students based in Okinawa, Japan.
Inspired by the natural environment and everyday life of Okinawa, the studio explores furniture that blends culture, function, and quiet beauty. Through hands-on research and field practice, they seek forms that resonate gently with both people and place. Their work searches for new expressions rooted in nature, tradition, and the rhythms of daily living.
