Patina is a Tokyo-based industrial design practice led by ex-IDEO designer Chris Pearce. With a focus on function-centric products, Patina serves to evolve brands through breakout innovations that challenge convention.

Patina collaborates closely with clients’ in-house engineering teams, and supplements projects with handpicked talent from its extensive creative network as needs arise. Through this method, the practice can grow and shrink in size to suit more complex and multi-disciplinary projects.
