SQEYS is the name behind a quest. It started during a studio visit at a very small vinyl toys producer’s headquarters. An unpredictable encounter in the sofuvi underground Tokyo art scene became an open collective from there.
To this day we never made one single sofuvi yet. None. Zero. And there is a reason for it.From the beginning our focus has been on the stories behind the characters. On what it means to give a soul, a real three-dimensionality, much before the making of the object itself.
This became literally the quest between two dimensions. What SQEYS was sincerely triggered by was writing and giving shape to the stories of a growing universe, projecting it into this world through characters who fight its widespread darkness—or embody it.
As SQEYS actively became familiar with this dynamic, it consolidated a diffusive changing in original styles and languages.
From the very beginning the only guiding line has been to create things never read or seen before.The idea is a collection of fables, stories and very odd characters all living in a multifaceted universe that somehow speaks about us and our society.
SQEYS‘s fables and characters speak of our contemporaneity in a way that kids and adults can find and share different positive interpretations and meanings while actively visiting and learning about new adventures.
