About Ciaolink
Ciaolink, a distinctive art business founded by an individual with a passion for crafting meaningful souvenirs, has become a notable name in the realm of artistic expressions. Originating from the founder's experiences and inspirations during their time living in various vibrant cities, Ciaolink emerged as a bridge that connects individuals through art.
The journey began while the founder, a graduate of an art university, worked on sales promotion planning and product development for a shop in Tokyo's Mori Art Museum. The transformative visit to MOMA in New York sparked a shift in perception towards gifts and souvenirs, setting the stage for the creative endeavors that followed.
Ciaolink's unique "Farewell My" series, initiated in 2013, is a testament to the founder's commitment to crafting souvenirs that transcend the ordinary. Drawing inspiration from living abroad and the diverse experiences of being a foreigner, the series encapsulates the essence of cities, evoking a nostalgic connection to the places once called home.
The meticulous craftsmanship behind Ciaolink's artworks is reflected in the materials used, notably the special 'Pachica' paper from Takeo Corporation in Japan. This paper, known for its transparency under hot stamping, undergoes a complex embossing process, requiring precision in temperature, pressure, and time. Collaborating closely with craftsmen, Ciaolink ensures each piece achieves the perfect transparency effect.
The commitment to quality extends to the framing process, with original wood materials and colors crafted in collaboration with a shop in Kagawa prefecture. Environmental consciousness is evident in the packaging, made from recycled cardboard to meet FSC certification requirements. Ciaolink strives to minimize packaging while ensuring the protection of each artwork during shipping, handled with speed and care by DHL for global deliveries.
Underpinning Ciaolink's success is the unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction. The founder's greatest motivation stems from the joyous voices and feedback received from customers worldwide, encouraging a continuous pursuit of crafting unique and meaningful artworks. Today, Ciaolink's reach extends beyond Hong Kong and Japan, resonating with art enthusiasts globally who appreciate the intersection of craftsmanship, nostalgia, and the art of connection.
