Studio Kaku

What we do

From first look to final hang.

From the first conversation about what art could do for your space, to the moment the last piece is hung. We work with first-time buyers, working artists, collectors, hotels — anyone who wants to live or work around art that means something.

The Journey

01

Discovery

We visit the space and get under the skin of it — the light, the architecture, the story you are trying to tell. We listen more than we talk.

Discovery
02

Concept

We develop a curatorial direction — a considered proposal for what the art should do in each space, and why. Not a mood board, but a point of view.

Sourcing & Commissioning

We find the right works — from existing pieces to artist commissions created specifically for your space. We handle all negotiation, contracts and timelines.

Framing

Every piece is framed to museum standard using archival materials chosen for each individual work, in collaboration with Juka Framing.

Shipment & Installation

We manage transport, logistics and installation from start to finish. You have one point of contact. Nothing falls through the gaps.

Handover

You receive full documentation — artists, provenance, care instructions — so the collection is properly managed long after we have gone.

Handover

Not every project needs all six steps. If you just need framing, that is a complete service in itself. Get in touch and we will take it from there.

Who we work with

First-time buyers

Not sure where to start? We help you find the right piece, understand what you are buying, and make sure it is properly framed and cared for.

Collectors

For those building a collection over time — artist introductions, acquisition advice, and installation that treats every piece as it deserves.

Artists

We work with artists on framing, placement and how to present their work to the right audiences. Honest advice, no gatekeeping.

Hotels & hospitality

Art programmes that shape guest experience and build long-term asset value — from a single suite to a full property rollout.

How to work with us

One-off project

A single piece, a room, a whole building. Scoped and priced individually — no ongoing commitment needed.

Retainer

Ongoing access to our network, eye and advice. Good for collectors and organisations who want a trusted partner for the long haul.

Advisory

You have a team. You just want an outside eye and a second opinion. We can do that too.
