Through human-centered design, we shape products and experiences where the physical & digital converge, refined by a sense of minimalism.

2 Years of Āto

We have grown into a studio designing products and experiences with lasting value.

50+ Projects

Each project is a chance to turn ideas into something people can hold, use, or remember.

15 Countries

We create design that has already crossed borders and found its place around the world.

Āto (アート)

House of Āto is a design studio based in Antwerp, working across graphic design, products and limited editions.

We work at the intersection of strategy, story and sensory design, building brands and objects that leave a lasting trace.

Āto is a word with more than one meaning. In Japanese, it translates to both art and what remains — a trace, a presence.

At House of Āto we provide diverse studio services, yet every project is built with a focus on human-centered design.

From essentials to unique concepts, products built with purpose and clarity.

Designing user experiences that make products intuitive and effortless to use.

*Experience Design

Graphic design made to be clear and consistent. From print to digital use.

*Graphic Design

Expressing brands, concepts or other projects in ways that feel authentic and connect.
