Where Creativity Meets Sustainability

OUR MISSION

SOZO™ is a brand dedicated to fostering creativity and producing eco-friendly keepsakes. By leveraging the possibilities of 3D printing, we aim to minimize our manufacturing footprint. At SOZO™, anything is possible, as we strive to combine innovation with sustainability.

OUR STORY

Shawn Burns and Layne Chamblin, graduates of the Savannah College of Art and Design, met in 2003 during their college years. Now a married couple, they are the creative designers behind the brand SOZO™. Together, they blend their artistic talents to bring innovative, eco-friendly keepsakes to life.

OUR APPROACH

SOZO™ utilizes minimal-waste manufacturing processes with plant-based materials. By rethinking production processes, 3D printing technology significantly reduces waste, enhances energy efficiency, and decreases carbon emissions.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Inspired by the Japanese word "sōzō," which means imagination, SOZO™ embodies the spirit of innovation and artistic expression. Our brand is committed to turning imaginative ideas into tangible, eco-friendly keepsakes through the power of 3D printing. At SOZO™, we believe in the limitless potential of creativity to shape a more sustainable future.

創造力は未来を切り開く力であり、困難な状況を乗り越えるための道を示してくれる。新しいアイデアと視点を持つことで、私たちは無限の可能性を見出すことができる。
