About us

Learn more about our story and the process of making our Mother-of-Pearl nameplates

In Korea, we say — “Life is all about Kisae.”

Kisae means momentum — the driving force behind success.
At KISAE, we capture that momentum through exquisite mother-of-pearl(Jakae)
nameplates, crafted with centuries of Korean artistry.
Each piece reflects not only tradition, but also individuality — a refined expression of who
you are.
More than a nameplate, it becomes a symbol of leadership —
honoring your name and your story — empowering your presence.

Tradition Reimagined

Kisae was born from our team’s global observation:

In professional spaces across the world, we noticed something missing — an object that truly represents you.

Your nameplate is more than just a label.

It’s the first thing people see.

The silent ambassador of your identity, values, and presence.

At Kisae, we create nameplates that speak for you — crafted from exquisite mother-of-pearl, shaped by centuries of Korean artistry,
and designed with a refined, modern eye.

Each piece is made to do more than sit on a desk.

It honors your name.

It elevates your space.

It expresses who you are — confidently, beautifully, and uniquely.

This is not just a nameplate.

It’s your presence, made visible.
