A creative studio designing products with a focus on recyclable materials, simplicity, and everyday use.

Why ape i

While the world moves further into technology and artificial intelligence, APE I focuses on a slower, more human way of creating. Each piece is handmade, shaped by simple processes, careful material choices, and attention to detail.

The name APE I, from “ape + I,” reflects human creativity and origin what it means to make things by hand in an increasingly digital world. Through notebooks, postcards, prints, and creative work, the studio explores simplicity, recyclable materials, and everyday use.
