PROFILE
After graduating from the University of Central Oklahoma and establishing his artistic career in Tokyo,
Saito is currently based in Brooklyn, New York, where he operates Saito Studio.
His practice is an ongoing exploration of the intersections between sculpture, architecture, and urban culture.
The foundation of his signature curved forms is deeply rooted in his personal history with skateboarding and street culture.
By fusing traditional bentwood techniques with the fluid, organic structures found within modern public spaces,
Saito has developed a unique visual language known as “flow-chitecture.”
His work serves as a meditative practice to decode the complexities of the contemporary city and peacefully reweave its fragmented narratives.
