Raw Concrete is King at 22 Design Studio

Husband and wife team, Sean Yu and Yiting Cheng, founded 22 Design Studio with a vision to materialize their love of minimalism and urban living. Each of their products is handcrafted by a small team of creatives at their studio in Taipei. Inspired by architect Tadao Ando, every product is made from raw concrete, designed to mimic the geometric angles and curves of brutalist architecture. Their collection of direct, honest, and daring handcrafted concrete products includes jewelry, stationery, clocks, home decor, writing tools, and watches are all driven by an intimate understanding of the material and years of exploratory design.
