Who We Are

Oak + Fog is a multidisciplinary design firm led by Kioni Cho and Daniel Raimond. Kioni's design experience extends from roles as senior designer to project manager at leading architecture and interior design firms in San Francisco, New York, and Philadelphia. She has worked on intimate residential and hospitality projects to a full buildout of the University of Pennsylvania hospital and ground-up designs of a Honda dealership, a catholic church and a winery. Her most recent projects include Homemade and Sweet July, Ayesha Curry's experimental popup store and permanent retail project which recently debuted in Oakland, CA.

After working at various firms for a number of years, her curiosity to both design and build things with her own hands led to a design / fabrication studio which showcases her ongoing explorations in furniture, sculpture, visual art and lighting. Her work is often about studies of movement, or about creating memorable experiences of ordinary things by composing them in unexpected ways. Kioni grew up in Singapore and moved to the U.S. for college. She received her B.A. from the University of Oregon and a Master's in Architecture from the State University of New York, Buffalo. She currently lives at Project Artaud, an artist live/work in San Francisco with her partner Dan and their daughter Jura. They love to host cocktail parties in their home. ​

With experiences as architect and blacksmith, we approach design with a deep understanding of building processes, and regardless of the size or complexity of the project, you will always be working directly with our principals, resulting in the most sensible and efficient designs. As designers, we're inevitably curious about all things design-related. The wonderful thing about having a design/fabrication studio is that we not only get to do the design work, but we get to explore making things with our own hands. There are endless possibilities in design and we're so excited about each and every part of it.
