Rodrigo Ohtake Collection + Granistone a Rocha
Graduated as an Architect and Urban Planner at FAU/USP in 2009, with a period of study at the Polytechnic of Milan, Rodrigo Ohtake collaborated with architects Mario Biselli, Alvaro Puntoni and French designer Patrick Jouin, in addition to working with his father, Ruy Ohtake, from 2008 to 2017.
In 2022, he founded the OHTAKE office, the result of the merger between Ruy Ohtake architecture and urbanism and Rodrigo Ohtake architecture and design. A multidisciplinary studio focused on architecture, design, urbanism, and new construction and materials technologies.
RODRIGO OHTAKE + GRANISTONE
Rodrigo Ohtake's collection for Granistone is born from the intersection of contemporary signature design and the exuberance of Brazilian natural stones. Using solid blocks of Amazonite, Capolavoro, and Speranza—stones of immense aesthetic value and 100% Brazilian origin—the pieces test the boundaries between weight and lightness, solidity and fluidity, rigor and apparent instability.
The curves, twists, and asymmetrical geometries reveal a close attention to the raw material: Rodrigo Ohtake doesn't impose forms on the stone; he negotiates with it. The mineral's hardness gives way to sculptability, allowing the designer to explore visually delicate structures with technical solutions as bold as they are elegant.
PIECES OF ART

1 piece 0.97x0.54x0.38m of Capolavoro weighing approximately 370kg | 1 piece 0.70x0.50x0.28m of Amazonite weighing approximately 223kg
The Fases table is composed of Capolavoro and Amazonite materials. The design emphasizes natural stone, blending it with glass. By respecting textures, colors, and veins, the project enhances the beauty and exclusivity that only nature offers.
A piece assembled with 0.40x0.50x0.60m of Capolavoro with Amazonite | Approximate weight: 135kg
The side table consists of the upper block, made of Amazonite, larger than the lower one, by Capolavoro. A sculptural design, the Oblique table conveys the power of authorial design by exploring the tension between form and matter. Geometry and texture combine to transform the robustness of natural stone into a functional sculpture, where weight and lightness are precisely balanced.
Top: 3.00x1.20m | Base: 02 pieces of 1.05x0.765x0.50m | Approx. 450kg each piece | Approximate total: 900kg
In the Onda Table, designed by Rodrigo Ohtake for SP-Arte 2025, Speranza quartzite goes beyond aesthetics and assumes a fundamental structural role. Each curve of the piece reveals the unique texture and natural strength of the stone, which supports the fluid form created by the designer. The stone is not just a covering: it is a construction element, balancing beauty and function, reflecting the harmony between nature and contemporary design. An invitation to see natural stone not only as a raw material, but as a protagonist of applied art.
