The other Thursday I attended the press event for Iittala & Issey Miyake collaboration called #Pause for harmony.
The day was grey, the weather grim but that all changed when we entered the universe they had created in the flat belonging to Emil Thorup - from Handvärk. The whole flat was decked out with stunning Sakura /Cherry blossom branches, Magnolia branches, as well as the stunning porcelain and textile from the collection.
I would like to call it Scandinavia meets Japan, and I can't remember last time I saw such a beautiful harmonious collaboration. The collaboration consists of many intricate and stunning textiles from Miyake, and delicate pieces of porcelain, as well as small vases from Finnish Iittala.
We also witnessed a stunning tea ceremony presented by Sing tehus and finally I tasted the green tea Matcha. To be honest, it wasn't my cup of tea - no pun intended, but the ceremony was stunning and very soothing to watch.
I am absolutely certain that this collaboration will have something there for you, so please have a look here for more on the collection.

DeleteBeautiful! I don't like Matcha either but there is something on Japanese Culture that makes us love it through and through and not worry or fret with the final result. It's an ongoing process not a destination, I guess.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing,
