YOKAI Studios GmbH is company and collective which is focused in research and the use of new technologies to design, show and produce garments and fashion accessories. As both of the founders got an artistic and technical background, they combine their knowledge to create garments in automated, local and sustainable ways, through the use of industrial robots. The Yokai team believe that design is a combination of functionality and innovative forward-thinking methods, that can reveal new looks of fashion products but at the same time it should face the issues that we are challenging in the 21st century. This way of thinking gives us the opportunity to confront problems from different angles and is the result of the artistic and technical background of the Yokai team members and co-founders Michael and Viktor. The main goal of the Yokai Team is to combine new technology with well-known techniques for the creation of designs in new and exciting ways.
