Not just limited to tiles,
but expanding into total
space design.
The 'WA-KEI' concept presented by X-iS Corporation is a new offering that goes beyond tile design, providing comprehensive architectural coordination with a distinct Japanese aesthetic.
We collaborate with skilled artisans and craftsmen from Japan — including those from Gifu Prefecture, renowned for its exceptional traditional products such as tiles, furniture, lighting, decorative objects, and tableware — to create unique Japanese interiors that elevate any space.

Showcasing the Beauty of Japanese Tiles
We collaborate with skilled artisans and craftsmen from Japan, including those from Gifu Prefecture, known for its exceptional traditional products such as tiles, furniture, lighting, decorative objects, and tableware, to create unique Japanese interiors that elevate any space.
It’s not just the objects themselves, but the essence of Japanese culture that the space evokes. Our goal is to convey the beauty of Japanese tiles, which truly shine in a harmonious environment.

Participation in Creative Collaborations with International Artists
X-iS participates in the Artist in Residence program, which invites young Swiss artists to Tajimi and supports their creative work during their extended stay.
The guesthouse where they stay is a truly Japanese space, surrounded by WA-KEI-designed ALL GIFU interiors. We look forward to seeing their future developments and creations inspired by foreign cultures.

Tajimi tile makers are versed in a variety of techniques for production, glazing, and firing.
The resulting Tajimi tiles are characterized by a warm, handmade look.
Their slight irregularities in color and texture are distinctive and valued as
embodiments of Japanese aesthetics.
