The Rain Symphony pattern, designed by Keiko Tanaka, came to life through the joyful

It makes you happy on a cloudy day!
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.
The Textile museum presents the work of Minä Perhonen from the 24th of October 2009 till the 28th of February 2010. Next to diverse fashion collections, wonderful interior and furniture textiles are part of the exhibition. Head designer Minagawa and his team are always searching for new boundaries to what is technically possible. This results in beautiful details that are hidden as little treasures in his garments and fabrics. Design sustainability and craftsmanship are becoming increasingly important in the world of fashion. Minä Perhonen represents these values in its design philosophy.
Tamago, Japanese for egg (the beginning, genesis), is the name of the new store of Simon Talsma and his son Casper. Simon Talsma is well known nationally for his famous store Cobra in Den Bosch.
This store is different from other stores because it’s not located in a shopping area. The Talsma family decided to start their new shop at the Spiegelgracht, surrounded by many art galleries. They also decided to not put their clothing on sale. When sale season starts Tamago puts unique collections in their store. Besides Minä Perhonen, there will be  other sustainable and high quality collections in the shop like  Sara Lanzi, Jane Wheeler and Marscha Hüskes. These brands are nowhere to be found in the Netherlands except the collection of Marscha Hüskes. Besides the high quality and sustainability the collections are remarkable because of their modest intelligence. Go and have a look at the Minä Perhonen collection and tell us what you think! Tamago –  Spiegelgracht 13 – 1017 JP Amsterdam
