Collaborate with
Ikai Asai

All creative collaborations at Ikai Asai are led with intent, and rooted in authenticity. We work with craft communities and clusters as partners in a process than a tool to get to the means. Each piece is intended to drive a larger conversation around design and craft. From bespoke collections to limited-editions, each piece is a considered response to both, the material and cultural origins and processes.

Who We Work With

We collaborate with architects, designers, creative studios, art patrons, hospitality and cultural institutions on projects that are rooted in material understanding, cultural impact and meaningful outcomes. We are interested in work that respects process, values authorship, contributes to meaningful making and focuses on community building.

How We Collaborate

A meaningful approach to collaboration

At Ikai Asai we work across projects that bring together craft, knowledge, design thinking, and cultural relevance. We collaborate on products and projects where outcomes feel curated and considered.

Bespoke Projects

Custom collaborations rooted in craft, specifically curated for brands, designers and spatial contexts

Editorial Cultural Partnerships

Content, conversations, and cross-disciplinary initiatives that deepen discourse around design, craft, and contemporary culture rather than simply adding visibility

Special Commissions

One-off projects, installations, or collaborative formats that require a distinct point of view, rigorous process, and the right creative alignment
