BIO
Luna Ikuta is a Japanese–American artist and creative director working across material science, sensory experience, and spatial design. Her practice explores how calm, presence, memory, and time can be shaped into contemplative environments that support human well-being.
Operating as a multidisciplinary studio, Ikuta leads collaborative teams across spatial, installation, scent, media, and object design for both private and commercial projects. Though widely recognized for her Afterlife series, her work maintains a consistent language across all formats. Ikuta collaborates closely with architects and production partners to create site-specific environments informed by bi-cultural perspectives and industrial design training. Her creative direction brings emotional depth together with structural clarity, guided by a careful understanding of material behavior and perceptual response.
Based between Los Angeles and Bangkok, Ikuta holds a BFA in Industrial Design from the Rhode Island School of Design. Her work has been realized internationally in museums, public spaces, private commissions, and large-scale installations.
