ABOUT US
About us
Kono is a creative and production studio. We tell the stories of exceptional houses: chefs, winemakers, makers, hotels. We work for them, and we build our own brands. Bordeus, our documentary series, is the first.

Philosophy
We believe the story is bigger than the product. A wine bar should tell the story of wine. A hotel should tell the story of the place around it.
We start with the angle, then we shoot. Every film begins with time spent in the house: listening, watching, understanding the gesture before filming it.
We work with houses that care about what they make, in Bordeaux, across France and beyond.
