YOY [joi] is a Tokyo based design studio composed of two young designers, Naoki Ono, a spatial designer, and Yuki Yamamoto, a product designer. Started in 2011, their design theme is to create a new story between space and objects.

Naoki Ono (left) was born in Nagoya in 1981. He graduated in Architectural Design from the Kyoto Institute of Technology in 2008.

Yuki Yamamoto (right) was born in Nagoya in 1985. He graduated in Industrial Design from the Kanazawa College of Art in 2008.

Innermost founders Steve Jones and Russell Cameron first spotted YOY and their Canvas lamp in April 2013 at Salone Satellite in Milan. They now edit this light which is also part of the MOMA collection in New York.
