About
At Summer Studio, we design furniture that invites stillness and simplicity into everyday life. Our philosophy is grounded in creating spaces that reflect calm, balance, and thoughtful design.
From the first sketch to the final form, every piece is shaped by visual clarity, functional purpose, and distinctive character. Our process is deliberate and precise—every joint, curve, and surface is considered. Craftsmanship is the foundation.
Jack Sasaki – Founder
Jack Sasaki’s creative journey began in Tokyo, where he developed his innate artistic sensibility from an early age. He later refined his design approach through formal education, earning a Master of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from UCLA.
Blending imagination with structure, Jack built a career in high-end residential development and product design. Over time, his deepening interest in craftsmanship led him to woodworking, where he spent over a decade honing his skills and exploring furniture as a medium.
Jack’s work is driven by a belief that furniture can be both functional and expressive—living at the intersection of design, utility, and art. His pieces are defined by thoughtful simplicity, distinctive form, and a commitment to quality.
