Overview

Kengo Kuma + MA,YU is a Japanese jewelry line born from a collaboration between the design unit of architect Kengo Kuma and designer Mayumi Omura, and Vendome Aoyama. Launched in 2009, it draws inspiration from Kengo Kuma’s architecture and artistic activities, translating architecture’s worldview and sculptural beauty into jewelry such as necklaces, rings, and earrings. With the aim of “weaving an artistic lifestyle with a new sensibility,” it creates collections centered on the fusion of architecture and jewelry.

Kengo Kuma + MA,YU is a collection name used by VENDOME AOYAMA since 2009 to refer in abbreviated form, such as in product names and fair announcements, to its collaboration with Kengo Kuma and Mayumi Omura. It shares the same collaborative background as the formal name “Kengo Kuma + MA,YU by Vendome Aoyama” and translates Kengo Kuma’s architecture and products into jewelry through curves, repetition, structure, and three-dimensionality. While the parent brand’s Standard Selection covers a broad range of everyday, basic jewelry, this collection foregrounds architectural forms and collaboration with creators. Rather than being a brand defined by use or materials, like VENDOME AOYAMA BRIDAL or LAH, it is positioned as a design collection that expands expression through architecture.
