The exhibition will go on display from the 1st May until the 4th October.
The Design Museum will present an exhibition celebrating the career of creative director and designer NIGO.
On display from the 1st May, this new display will feature hundreds of objects from his personal collection encompassing music, fashion, graphic design, vintage Americana, Japanese traditional craftsmanship, and more.
Taking visitors from the back streets of Harajuku, Tokyo, to the global stage, this is the first-ever museum retrospective and exhibition outside of Japan that will focus on NIGO’s work.
Featuring over 700 objects, the exhibition’s highlights will include: a recreation of NIGO’s teenage bedroom, rare designs, ceramics hand-thrown by NIGO himself, and a life-size glass tea house made especially for the exhibition.
NIGO’s work draws on influences spanning vintage Americana, streetwear, hip-hop, traditional Japanese craft and growing up in 1980s Tokyo.
The exhibition will offer a glimpse into NIGO’s world from his personal collection of vintage clothing and objects to his close network of collaborators all the way through to highlighting his practice and ability to draw on wide-ranging disciplines and cultural references.
