Two designers from different cultures virtually co-created the modular Isole via a process of exchanging ideas inspired by Japanese poetry. Oki Sato, founder of the Tokyo-based design studio Nendo, and Luca Nichetto, Italian founder of Stockholm-based Nichetto Studio, instantly felt a kindred creative spirit when initially they met over coffee in Tokyo. Defying the geographical distance between them, Nendo and Nichetto subsequently found a new way to collaborate long distance applying the concept behind Tanka, a traditional genre of Japanese poetry, where one person starts the poem and the other person completes it.
