Their Team

Within the brand, Lim is responsible for ink color design, formulation, manufacturing, and technical development, while Tono oversees planning, storytelling, promotion, and overall brand direction.

Their sensibilities do not always align perfectly, but through continuous dialogue and careful adjustment, they shape each ink together—bringing a single color to life.
