Kvadra, Raf Simons and George Nakashima. The event has started to reach not only furniture lovers and interior designers, but also many others.

The Kvadrat/Raf Simons collection was launched in 2014 as a collaboration between the Danish textile manufacturer Kvadrat and Raf Simons.

Kvadra is widely known among interior design enthusiasts, and the fact that it teamed up with Raf Simons, who has a deep knowledge of not only fashion but also art and interior design in general, was a big hit among enthusiasts.

The new lifestyle accessory collection "Shaker System" will be held for the first time in Japan. The event is curated by Ko Mizukama of ENKEL.

The fact that the items on this website are also made with Kvadra fabrics shows the depth of the relationship between the two companies and their feelings toward each other.

This exhibition will showcase the rich variations of the "Shaker System," the first of its kind in Japan, and will also serve as an opportunity to introduce the new concept of "Kvadra/Raf Simons," which is to reset modern life and create new beauty from a certain order.

In Denmark, a concept store expressing the world of "Kvadra/Raf Simons" has already opened in Copenhagen, but this time, the interior of "ISETAN SLAONE (Tokyo Midtown)" will be designed by Hiroshi Sugimoto, a contemporary artist, and will be furnished by George Nakashima, a favorite of Raf Simons. This time, a new world view will be presented in the space of "ISETAN SLAONE (Tokyo Midtown)," with interior design by Hiroshi Sugimoto, a contemporary artist, and furniture by George Nakashima, a favorite of Raf Simons.

In addition to exhibiting and selling special-edition furniture by George Nakashima, which will be covered with textiles by Kvadra/Raf Simons, the store will also feature works by artists who add color to the lifestyles of those who live in Enkel's stores.

Even if you are not interested in interior design, this is a must-see gem of an event.
