The beautiful and romantic designs of Minä Perhonen are not only used for fashion collections.

Akira Minagawa has also designed textiles and furniture fabrics. In 2004 a collaboration was initiated between well-known Danish furniture manufacturer Fritz Hansen and Minä Perhonen. As a result one of the all-time design classics the ‘Egg chair’ (designed by the great Arne Jacobsen in 1958) was dressed in Minä Perhonen fabrics ‘angel’, ‘sunny rain’ & ‘tamborine’.

Absolutely fascinated by Scandinavian design Akira Minagawa, amongst other great designers, collaborated with Danish textile maker Kvadrat. Kvadrat works closely with a range of independent designers, who all take interest in very different areas and find their inspiration through different design fields. The ‘Tambourine’, ‘Ikat Flower’ and ‘Big Flower’ are part of the Kvadrat collection.

In the world of Minä Perhonen the weaving, printing and embroidery are treated with great tenderness and finesse.
