Journal

Sharing the same vision and values, we teamed up as friends — Joko in old-Japanese — and started an online journal to portray inspiring places, objects and people. An initiative that naturally led us towards the beginning of Studio Joko.

Museo LagOmar, Lanzarote

César Manrique's love affair with Lanzarote has been a long and abundant one. The legacy of his work holds an eternal allure, defined by his sculptural architecture and his respect for nature. Lagomar - a true home away from home - is one of César’s finest gems. Fueled with his adoration for Lanzarote’s rugged landscape, the property is formed around the same rocks from which it was built. Embracing its natural labyrinths, caves and solidified lava against a backdrop of tropical flora.

Fundación César Manrique, Lanzarote

Adrift in the endless navy surface of the Atlantic Ocean is Lanzarote; an island with the most extraordinary geology we've ever been able to admire. Almost as intriguing as the lunar landscape, is one of the island’s most renown figures: César Manrique (1919 – 1992). He was a painter, sculptor, architect, ecologist and monument preserver; he was a visionary artist who defined Lanzarote as it stands today.
