Artment.dep is a Seoul-based creative studio that bridges the worlds of art direction, brand identity, and spatial storytelling. Founded in 2006 by Mijae Kim—who grew up in Tokyo and graduated from the University of the Arts, London—the studio operates as an incubator for cultural narratives, shaping distinctive identities through design, curation, and collaboration.

With an approach that seamlessly integrates concept development, prototyping, and execution, Artment.dep crafts environments and experiences that transcend aesthetics, offering a deeper engagement with everyday culture. Our expertise spans branding, graphic and packaging design, furniture and interior development, as well as creative marketing and store content strategy. We not only design, but also cultivate dialogues between spaces, objects, and the people who interact with them.

From our early work in F&B space branding to partnerships in entertainment, beauty, and global retail, Artment.dep has cultivated a dynamic network of collaborators—including Atelier September (CPH), Gohar World (NYC), Sophie Bille Brahe (CPH), Aesop (KOR), and Genesis (Global). Our vision extends beyond commercial design; we seek to redefine how brands communicate, evolve, and resonate within cultural landscapes. As the creators of Tea Collective, a pioneering local tea brand, we continue to push the boundaries of design-led storytelling, forging meaningful connections between aesthetics and experience.
