More about the tour
In the exhibition we meet the everyday and close-to-nature philosophy that permeates Akira Minagawa's work and the company Minä perhonen that he founded in 1995. The exhibition highlights the creative process together with clothes, design objects and unique original works. An exquisite selection of dresses, coats and textiles is presented. In everything, the smallest detail is important – from the choice of materials to new and bold innovations. The users' experiences and memories of the garments and objects play an important role. Together, Akira Minagawa and his team look at how design can, and should, make us happier in everyday life.
In this guided tour, Akira Minagawa, together with Sara Borgegård Älgå, curator of education at Nationalmuseum, tells us more about how ideas take shape and how the conscious and careful production with skilled craftsmen and small companies in Japan takes place. The tour is conducted at a relaxed pace with time for questions and translations.
