Klein-Dytham architecture AKA KDa, turn space into art.
クライン ダイサム アーキテクツ(KDa)は1991年、ロイヤル・カレッジ・オブ・アートを修了し、東京の伊東豊雄建築設計事務所での経験を積んだアストリッド クラインとマーク ダイサムによって設立されました。
建築設計をはじめインテリアからプロダクト、アートイベントからスペースの運営まで何ごとにも境界線を引くことなく活動するオフィスです。 1998年から2005年には、麻布十番に様々なクリエイターとともに『Deluxe』を開設、東京のクリエイティヴ・スペースとして様々なアートイベン ト、ワークショップなどを展開してきました。2002年にはその発展形である『Super Deluxe』を西麻布にオープン、多くのクリエイターとともに現在も数々の話題を提供し続け、各方面から高い評価を得ています。
2003年にスタートした20スライド×20秒のフォーマットによるトーク・イベント『ぺちゃくちゃないと』は多くのクリエイターやアーティストのプレゼンテーションの場として愛され、世界各都市に広がり2009年には180以上の都市で開催されるまでに浸透しました。
KDaは新しいことを求め続ける都市『東京』を拠点に、既成概念にとらわれることなく新鮮な視線で世界中の人々のライフを豊かにする活動を続けて行きたいと考えています。
Klein Dytham architecture (KDa) is a multi-disciplinary design practice active in the design of architecture, interiors, and public spaces and installations. Established by Royal College of Art graduates Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein in Tokyo at the dawn of the 90s, KDa is today a multi-lingual office with an increasingly visible international profile and client list.
KDa’s base in Tokyo provides constant source of inspiration and creative energy. The Japanese thirst for the new, a sensitivity to material and detail in crafting, and an ever-changing urban environment nourish KDa’s ideas and production.
KDa spans east and west, offering the freshness of vision that only an outside perspective can bring.

If you have ever been to a public bath or an Onsen hot spring in Japan you might have noticed the awesome paintings which are featured in some of them. Unfortunately this is a dying art as more and more painters are giving up and new ones are not following. Watch the video to see [...]

We are photographers ourselves (enthusiasts at least) here at Saiko Land, but if you think your photos are good, than think no more and have a look at what Maki Kawakita and her Hasselblad can create. Art. Definitely.

Trip was born in Japan, Nov. 1st 1979. Tokyo-based artist.
I feel the necessity of meeting people, and the miracle that comes from moving around, taking “trips“. My concept is “Wonderful shoes lead us to wonderful places.” It is a project to paint on shoes to express the desire, feeling, the experience, and the connection [...]

Sometimes life is full of surprises! This morning at work, I got introduced to unclebob and we welcomed him like family in the creative department. To the surprise of everyone unclebob is a cut-out artist/illustrator, which means he doesn’t use a pen to do illustration, instead he’s using a scalpel! And just a black sheet [...]

Me, myself and I. Why not promoting myself… I take photos as a passion for a
long time. If anyone would like to write about me, myself and I, that’s fine, because I simply can’t!
In the meantime, check my gallery.

If you travel a lot, then you would have come across his creation in a hotel, shop, home etc…
Well where is home? I guess it’s France, Japan, Switzerland. His inspiration comes from all his travel which translate into a minimal, dynamic and colorful style.
