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.

Who We Work With

01

Hotels & Hospitality

Lobbies, suites, restaurants and private lounges — signature works that give a property a sense of place and a story worth sharing.

02

Interior Designers

A discreet, dependable source of authentic Japanese art for residential and commercial schemes, with trade terms and full specification support.

03

Architects & Developers

Art considered from the outset — integrated into the architecture of lobbies, amenity floors and flagship residences.

04

Art Advisors & Curators

Rare, museum-grade pieces and bespoke commissions for discerning private and corporate collections.
