✦ (01) Overview

Launched in 2024

Photography and identity that capture the glow of the city after dark.

Neon Kyoto is a design hotel inspired by the city’s late-night streets. We created a moody visual identity, art directed the photography and launched a website that captures the glow of Kyoto after dark.

The series moves slowly through each room, letting proportion and light do the talking rather than styling or props.
