h220430

h220430 was established by prominent Japanese product designer and architect, Satoshi Itasaka, founder of architecture and interior design firm The Design Labo. The name h220430 comes from the date the brand was born – on April 30th Heisei 22 (Japan’s calendar denotation for 2010).

Focusing primarily on lighting and furniture, h220430 aims to design products that will provoke communication, and not only for their shapes. The brand would like their works to provide opportunities for people to ponder and act against the numerous impending worldly issues such as environmental deterioration and continuous conflicts all over the world.
