PRODUCT STUDIO — TOKYO
LOM Design is an independent product studio in Tokyo. WordPress themes, web tools and small apps — designed, built and shipped in-house, from the first sketch to the last line of code.
Work
No clients, no committees, no handoff between design and engineering. Just products, shipped.
WORDPRESS THEME / FAQ & HELP CENTER
A block-native theme for FAQ and help-center sites. It does one job — getting a visitor from a question to its answer — and leaves out everything that gets in the way.
More in the workshop — the next theme is already on the bench.
What's Next
FAQtory was the first product built for an international audience. It won't be the last.
About
The name comes from the Bill Withers song. Lean on me — that's the whole brief, really. Software should be something you can put your weight on.
The studio has been in Tokyo for over twenty years, with a long stretch spent living abroad in the middle of it. That detour rewired what looks right to us, and the work has come out looking more international than local ever since. For a while that felt like a mismatch with the market we were selling to. Now it's the reason to build for a wider one.
Everything here is made in-house — the idea, the interface, the code, the copy, the deploy. The products are small on purpose. A theme that does one job well beats a framework that does forty badly, and something built by one pair of hands can stay honest in a way a bigger thing usually can't.
Questions about a product, an idea you can't shake,
or just a hello from another maker — all welcome.
