About Us
Mas Sato Design’s mission is to create stylish furniture children
will love to use and adults will love to display. What started as a
project for his own family grew into a business that helps children to
create, imagine and be independent.
Mas Sato’s designs are elegant, minimal and decidedly modern. Drawing
from both traditional Japanese aesthetics and mid-century modern design, the pieces offer a unique twist to standard
children’s furniture. Cutouts, interesting angles and natural finishes
set the children’s furniture line apart from mass production pieces.
Each design is original and reflects how children really interact with
their environment.Message from Mas: I am the father of two
wonderful children and they are the
inspiration for my pieces. I started the Inai Inai Ba! Modern Children's Furniture line out of a strong
desire to build high-quality children's furniture with an elegant modern
aesthetic without sacrificing utility. The name Inai Inai Ba, [pronounced: ee-nigh, ee-nigh, bah] which
roughly translates to "peekaboo" in English, is a nod to my Japanese
heritage. While my designs reflect a simple sophistication of
traditional Japanese aesthetics, I utilize modern fabrication techniques
to create my simple and sturdy pieces.
Each piece is handcrafted in North Carolina, U.S.A. Inai Inai Ba! Modern Children's Furniture is a collection of Mas Sato Designs.
