The staff are vibrant and diverse, encouraging and understanding each other, continually exploring ways of working that suit them best. Chizu Blue is a place where people can authentically express themselves and enjoy their work. Both employees and visitors are encouraged to freely express their individuality, and the studio strives to create products and spaces that convey this atmosphere.
