Santa Monica, California · Frieze Los Angeles · February 2026

A pop-up omakase where art, design, and Gyotaku came together.

In collaboration with Tim Clarke Design Studio, The Imprint Experience and Sushi Bar Hermosa Beach came together in the studio for an intimate pop-up omakase during Frieze Los Angeles. Set within the language of a working design space, the evening created a natural dialogue between food, art, and the surrounding environment.

Live Gyotaku unfolded throughout the experience, including an octopus and TIE’s first-ever bluefin tuna tail print, created as a keepsake for guests. Each impression offered a tangible connection to the fish being experienced at the table, extending the meal beyond the plate and into something made by hand.

The collaboration marked another evolution of The Imprint Experience - bringing the tradition of Gyotaku into an unexpected setting and allowing art, cuisine, and design to exist within the same experience.
