Koosuke IRKT Ikeda was born in US and raised in several countries such as UK,
Japan and France. Since 2004, he resides and works in New York City.

IRKT [i-ru-ku-to][individual relative K(c)ontradiction theory]
is his conceptual design for his artistry, logo and project name to pursue his creations.

He desire to pursue the concept of the "self", exposing the contradictions which exist
internally and externally, and to ascertain piece by piece elements that define one's
raison d'etre by combining digital medial with traditional materials. His work has been
featured not only in galleries around the world, but also in showrooms and fashion show.

One of my favorite stores in New York is Dune. I like the aesthetic of what owner and designer Richard Shemtov wraps up into a store. The furniture is young modern and hip–my kinda place. Having called Tribeca home for the past nine years they felt like a move to SoHo would be a good thing, so now they are perfectly located in the downtown furniture design mosh pit–right where it all happens.
Their beautiful spacious new showroom displays their furniture lines beautifully even if it is a smidge smaller than their previous space. To get the new showroom started, Dune kicked off with a fun party a week or so ago. Richard had the walls of the showroom lined with art by Koosuke Ikeda (incredibly fun graphic stuff–like I needed another obsession). His work is stunning. Thanks for a fun party Richard and best of luck to Dune in their new home at 156 Wooster Street.
