Hibiya Kadan Unveils 'BIOPHILIART': A Fusion of Nature and Art

Hibiya Kadan, established in 1872 and based in Minato, Tokyo, has recently announced the launch of a groundbreaking space design project that merges the vitality of plants with the sensibilities of artists. Named 'BIOPHILIART', this new brand aims to redefine the concept of space design and create immersive environments that instill a sense of beauty and tranquility. The official website for BIOPHILIART will be available starting March 18, 2026.

The Essence of 'BIOPHILIART'

'BIOPHILIART' masterfully combines the expertise of Hibiya Kadan's florists with the innovative perspectives of artists. The initiative seeks to tap into humanity's intrinsic desire for connection with nature while also evoking the emotional resonance of art. By incorporating the principles of biophilic design—an architectural method that integrates natural elements such as plants, light, and water into built environments—'BIOPHILIART' transforms spaces into cohesive works of art, offering uncharted experiences of stunning beauty and personal well-being.

Four Core Values of 'BIOPHILIART'

1. BIOPHILIA (Connection with Nature)
The brand facilitates a natural connection by incorporating the essence of plants and scenic views into spaces, evoking the changing seasons and providing a sense of calm.

2. ART (Elevation Through Artistic Expression)
By blending the beauty of plant life with the free expression of artists, 'BIOPHILIART' transcends traditional decoration, turning the space itself into a piece of art. The initiative draws upon both contemporary art and Japan's rich traditional crafts.

3. FUTURE (Integrating Cutting-Edge Technology)
State-of-the-art LED systems and digital signage seamlessly blend with nature and art, creating dynamic environments that respond to surrounding influences, providing unique experiential values.

4. WELLBEING (Harmony of Mind and Body)
Engaging art, greenery, and floral elements helps foster a balanced environment that enhances the well-being of individuals, making their time more fulfilling.

Introducing Semi-Custom Product: HEALING GREEN ART 'YUGEN'

As part of its first offering, 'BIOPHILIART' presents its semi-custom product, 'YUGEN', developed in collaboration with renowned artist Shoji Osaka and based on the 'HEALING GREEN ART SYSTEM'. This indoor installation combines advanced dimming technology with high-quality art greens to create stunning spatial experiences. By precisely projecting light fluctuations and the shadows of plants onto walls, 'YUGEN' generates rich and appropriate scenery for various settings such as corporate entrances, hotel lobbies, spas, and even public facilities, where traditional greens may not be feasible.

Available Models of 'YUGEN'

• - Single-sided (LED Backlit) Model

Design ideal for installation on walls or counters, transforming the area into a BIOPHILIART space, controlled via remote for brightness and shadow dynamics.

• - Single-sided (Signage Backlit) Model

Utilizing LED signage panels for dynamic video effects, creating an ethereal interplay of light and shadow that adds depth to the environment.

• - Double-sided (LED Backlit) Model

A standalone furniture-style or partition model that illuminates and gently divides spaces while providing healing visuals of light and greenery, also controlled remotely for customizable effects.

'YUGEN' as a Symbol of 'BIOPHILIART'

'YUGEN' embodies the spirit of 'BIOPHILIART' by harmonizing the external and internal atmospheres to create a beautifully expansive space through advanced techniques. This luxurious lighting program captures the ebb and flow of light, casting gentle shadows of plants that infuse the space with tranquility and vitality.

Future Aspirations for 'BIOPHILIART'

Through its innovative approach, 'BIOPHILIART' plans to redefine the understanding of art as it pertains to space design, taking advantage of the elements intrinsic to nature and art's capacity to express humanity. This push will begin with 'YUGEN', followed by collaborations with teams of artists from various disciplines including video, sound, and traditional crafts. By merging the expressive power of plants with diverse creative influences, Hibiya Kadan aims to open up unparalleled possibilities in spatial design.
