Tension/Release

A pop-up event concept brings together two distinct brands to create a unique space at the intersection of fashion and furniture design. The collaboration merges Issey Miyake’s 1993–1998 “Pleats Please” collection with Artek’s modernist furniture, using art, functionality, and technology to stage a dynamic, immersive environment where textile, form, and structure unfold in dialogue.
