Roche Bobois exclusive collections designed by Kenzo Takada and his team
Since 2015, Kenzo Takada has channeled his distinct flair for design into a flourishing partnership with Roche Bobois, crafting exclusive textile collections and accessories that redefine elegance. These collections, tailored uniquely for Roche Bobois, have garnered unprecedented success, setting a new benchmark in the design world.

Rometti
Embarking on a creative alliance in 2019, K-3 and Rometti have united to conceive remarkable ceramic works that intertwine artistry and craftsmanship. This partnership draws on the legacy of Ceramiche Rometti, established in 1927 in Umbertide by the visionary Settimio Rometti, and later enriched by the dedication of his descendants, Aspromonte Rometti and Dante Baldelli. Amidst the cultural effervescence of the avant-garde, Rometti set out with a clear and ambitious vision: to become a beacon of artistic excellence.
Passion and art
Together, K-3 and Rometti are not just crafting ceramics, but narrative pieces that embody the century-long heritage of passion and art, enriching spaces with cultural depth and an impeccable aesthetic sense.
Yoshino Wood
In an inspiring collaboration with Yoshino Wood and some of Japan's finest craftsmen, K-3 is set to redefine the artistry of product creation. In 2024, K-3 will unveil a collection of surfboards, merging the unparalleled skills of Japanese artisans to create exceptional pieces. This venture is an exploration of the multifaceted nature of products, examining how objects simultaneously serve a practical purpose, enhance spaces, and engage the senses through texture, aroma, and aesthetic appeal.
For over five centuries, the custodians of Yoshino Forest have engaged in a sustainable cycle of planting, nurturing, harvesting, and replanting trees, thus cultivating a generational legacy. The exquisite timber has a rich history, having been used to construct temples, shrines, and majestic castles in Japan from the 15th to 17th centuries.
