Koifa is a Hakka word meaning to bloom, to blossom.

Rooted in this spirit of becoming, Koifa – Agar Flower Studio creates botanical artworks that celebrate the beauty of nature through a material rarely seen in contemporary craft: agar.

Founded by artist Yi Hsuan Sung, the studio explores the expressive potential of agar, a natural gel derived from red seaweed and long treasured in Asian culinary traditions. Biodegradable, highly moldable, and thermo-reversible, agar offers a unique medium for creating with intention—where transformation is possible, and waste is minimized.

Each flower is meticulously handcrafted, capturing the fleeting grace of a blossom at its most luminous moment. Delicate yet enduring, our creations blur the boundaries between art, nature, and design.

From sculptural interiors to wearable adornments, every piece reflects a commitment to thoughtful craftsmanship and sustainable beauty. No two works are alike; each carries its own character, shaped by hand and inspired by the ever-changing forms of the natural world.

At Koifa, we believe beauty is not only something to admire, but something to cultivate—to bloom, to blossom, and to flourish in harmony with nature.
