Artisanal one of a kind pieces, passionately made in Zurich
IKOU TSCHÜSS is a Zurich based brand established by long-term friends Guya Marini and Carmen D’Apollonio, who have been creating artistic objects and fashion with their label since 2006. Their artistic works and objects are exhibited and sold in their flagship store in Zurich, which opened in 2010. The goal behind IKOU TSCHÜSS? To create items that not only appeal to their own community, but are also sustainable in terms of their production as well as distribution, using natural fibers and recycled materials. That is why, with their label, Guya and Carmen do not follow conventional production cycles, but focus on high quality and aesthetics.
Since 2023, IKOU TSCHÜSS is part of the Vitra showroom in Shoreditch, London. Vitra, a third-generation Swiss family business, pursues a cultural and environmental mission next to a commercial one. In collaboration with designers, architects and graphic artists, Vitra has dedicated itself to creating homes, offices and public spaces through the power of design. Beyond IKOU TSCHÜSS' trademark crocheted silk scarf, the product range has expanded steadily over the years. Driven by a desire to create beautiful things, the designers draw inspiration from their everyday lives and find new ideas in a variety of places - from thrift stores to archives to everyday objects.
