A working session in Tokyo to rethink Kapti

In May 2026, Romain and João met in Tokyo for several days of work on Kapti: face to face, at the whiteboard, documenting as they went.

They went back over the collective from the start: what had been done, what had worked, and how to relaunch it after two years in which everyone had been on long engagements.

Less news, because everyone was on assignment

Between late 2024 and early 2026, the collective kept a lower profile. It wasn’t a pause: each member of the core team was busy with a long client engagement, with less time to spend on developing Kapti.

The event was conceived by Vincent and Thomas, who also organised everything on site. Thanks to Collective.work for making this retreat possible.

Vincent writes an article on UX, published by Collective.work

Vincent wrote an article for Kapti on UX design within companies: what it is, why to consider it and what it changes for conversion and brand image. It was published by Collective.work, thanks to Jean and Juliette from their team. The article is no longer online, but the launch post still is.
