Solutions for Clients

ICA delivers end-to-end services, from sketch to installation. ICA specializes in developing fully-customized art programs through intensive research and extensive resources to meet individual project needs. Committed to client satisfaction, ICA's diverse team of creative professionals who are experts in art consulting, fabrication of interior elements, installation, graphic design, and styling offers excellent, quality design that is delivered within budget and on time.

Consultancy

ICA's idea of consulting service is to provide our customers with customized art programs based on the characteristics and scale of the project. Taking the case of hotels as an example, while the brand may be the same, the art required is different, as it should be deeply connected to the locality and design of the structure. Through our creative perspectives, thorough research, and highly specialized knowledge, we transform the core ideas of a project into concrete form while optimizing the budget.

Proposal & Planning

We will examine the content, direction, and budget of the project and present the best art program.

Master Planning
We coordinate the intentions of owners, operators, designers, and the brand and develop the concept for the entire project based on careful research and analysis.
Schematic Design
We offer art direction and specific design ideas tied to the concept.
Specification
We adjust the installation location, quantity, and specifications to optimize the budget.

Management

Based on the selected proposal, we offer art production, procurement, and contract with artists.

Process Control
We create master schedules of the workflow from meeting to production to procurement.
Budgetary Control
We adjust the specifications and monitor the budget to provide the best performance within the set budget.
Rights Management
We manage copyrights by signing contracts with artists and rights holders after clarifying the conditions of use of the artworks.

Design Production

We reflect the concept of the art program onto working drawings and installation details, using our knowledge and expertise derived from our varied experience.
Through collaboration with artists and workshops in Japan and overseas, we carry out all processes up to installation while carefully balancing artistic quality and various conditions such as scheduling and cost.
