Metal, as art.
Contemporary stainless steel objects shaped by 50 years of Japanese metalworking experience.
KDEEK.com is a design initiative developed by KDK Co., Ltd. in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. Founded in 1976, the company has worked with industrial sheet-metal fabrication for decades. Its KDEEK OBJECTS collection explores how the precision of metalwork can become quiet, expressive decor for modern interiors.
The story in brief
For half a century, KDK has developed fabrication knowledge through industrial metal products. KDEEK.com applies that experience to a collection of compact stainless steel vases and candle holders. Rather than concealing the metal, the objects make its brushed finish part of the composition, pairing it with three creative worlds: DESIGN (geometric, abstract and collage artwork), NATURE (plants, landscapes and animal motifs), and CULTURE (original anime-inspired illustration and Japanese classical motifs).
The collection is organized around small production runs and pre-order windows. Dispatch dates, available designs and ordering conditions are published on individual product pages.
The objects
- CANDLE HOLDER — 81 × 81 × 81 mm; square open-top form, with eight 9 mm ventilation holes on each side. Candles are not included.
- VASE — 81 × 81 × 162 mm; tall square-profile stainless steel vase. A separate glass insert is used for water resistance. Flowers are not included.
- Collections — DESIGN (GEOMETRY / ABSTRACT / MIXTURE), NATURE (PLANT / ANIMAL) and CULTURE (ILLUSTRATION / CLASSIC). The latter subcategories are introduced as new designs become available.
Explore the MIXTURE — VASE 001 Japanese stainless steel collage vase, which combines newspaper-inspired textures, navy and ochre artwork, and generous areas of exposed brushed metal. The square-profile vase measures 81 × 81 × 162 mm.
