Our philosophy

As Aïnu grows, it has become important to define the values from which we develop our culture. These are the three core values that we live by, our philosophy.

CRAFTSMANSHIP – Doing what we love and doing it right

Craftsmanship is at the heart of our business. We all work to develop mastery, have a crazy passion for betterment and are obsessed by the quality of our work. We give the same attention to the smallest details as we do to the largest.

PASSION – Care beyond the ordinary

We care beyond the ordinary for our clients. For our projects. For our staff. For details. Our reputation of providing insanely good service is our pride. We’ve earned it through the years and have no plans to give it up. We expect the unexpected.

LEAD – Don’t follow

In everything we do, we strive for innovation. We try to solve your problems holistically, and always go the extra mile. We look at problems from different perspectives and find effective, simple and safe solutions.

SUSTAINABILITY - Our commitment to the environment

Sustainable development is a crucial issue, both individually and collectively. At our level, we are committed to minimizing our impact on the environment. Particular care is taken in the choice of our materials and suppliers, in the treatment of our waste as well as in our means of transport for our various missions.

The team

At Aïnu, we are building a positive team of compassionate people who take pride in their work. Our team of uniquely talented creative thinkers and craftspeople from all over the world brings all its collective know-how, passion and competence to the projects we are entrusted with.

We have a strong family spirit and have a fundamental belief in our people and their abilities. We promote natural leadership, where people morph their role over time to match their skills. And work hard at maximizing a safe and healthy environment where creativity can flourish and where our people can grow every day.

Our clients

Over the years we have worked with many great organizations, museums, luxury brands, artists, galleries and private collectors. We are grateful and proud of the relationships we have with our clients and work hard to do right by them.
