What is Yuruliku?

"yuruliku" is a label of designer duo Koushi Ikegami and Kinue Oneda.

"yuruliku" was named by combining the words "yururi", which means "relaxing", with "yukkuri", which means "slowly" in Japanese. We explore new styles in stationery which we hope put a small smile on your face. Yuruliku's works are based on "little humor" found in everyday life. We cherish the importance in expressing "enjoyment", "simplicity", and "fresh discovery" in our works.


Yurulikufs design aims to convey its message in simply ways to many people.

gItfs not a necessity, but delightful nonetheless.h

We cherish the gemotional sideh of its products, things the eyes can not see.
Countless pre-production samples are made as we see great importance in exploring and discovering designs through our "hands".
We, as designers, would like to fulfill our role by being responsible to the whole process of production, sales, and handling.
