For Trade & Hospitality

Gold-Thread Art at the Scale of Architecture

We partner with hotels, interior designers, architects and developers to place one-of-a-kind Japanese gold-thread artworks in the world's most considered spaces.

One of a Kind

Every piece is unique. The same work can never be made again.

Real Gold

A traditional Japanese obi woven with genuine gold — never alloy or imitation.

Master Framing

Each piece is fitted and framed by a renowned Nagano atelier.

Delivery & Installation

From framing to delivery and installation, arranged on request.
