Sho was born in Chiba Prefecture in 1984. After graduating from the Department of Design, Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University, he joined a furniture manufacturer. In 2018, he completed a Master's program in Contextual Design at the Design Academy Eindhoven and established Studio Sho Ota in the same year. He is based in the Netherlands and has exhibited his work in galleries across Europe and the U.S. In 2021, he held his first solo exhibition in Paris. He is driven to create works through small-scale production that would be impossible to achieve through mass production.
