Creative Director of vowels Yuki Yagi in conversation with Designer of WAKA WAKA Shin Okuda for ODDA

In their first official product collaboration, fashion label Vowels teams up with Los Angeles-based furniture studio Waka Waka, led by designer Shin Okuda, for Salone del Mobile ‘25. The result? A design-driven installation that bridges minimalism, craftsmanship, and functionality—rooted in shared creative values. Featuring a custom chair and stool for the occasion, the collaboration showcased both the brand's DNA and clean design, creating a rich storytelling around functionality and creation. We sat down with Vowels’ Yuki Yagi and Shin Okuda to talk about the synergy behind the collaboration, the atmosphere they wanted to create, and how clothing and furniture aren’t so different after all. #ODDAxSalonedelMobile2025
