The Fusion of Art and Eco-Friendly Fashion at THE KNT365 HOUSE
The vibrant heart of Harajuku is set to welcome a remarkable new destination for art lovers and fashion enthusiasts alike—THE KNT365 HOUSE. Opening its doors on September 30, 2025, this innovative space will feature a special installation by renowned artist KUNIO KOHZAKI, showcasing the intersection of sustainability and creative expression.
A Rich History of KNT365
KNT365, a Japanese brand based in Jiyugaoka, Meguro, is known for its commitment to sustainability and breakthrough designs in knitwear. Founded by Jun Kunii, the brand emerged to promote functional yet stylish bags made from recycled polyester, emphasizing eco-friendliness and artisan craftsmanship. As it continues to expand, KNT365 embraces a vision of circular fashion, reflecting a lifestyle that values both the environment and creativity.
A Special Installation by KUNIO KOHZAKI
At the new flagship store, KUNIO KOHZAKI's installation will transform discarded pieces from the brand's previous works into a unique art piece. The concept revolves around
“destruction and reconstruction,” where pieces that may have sustained damage or wear are meticulously cut and reassembled into patchwork forms that illustrate the brand's heritage. This artistic endeavor not only revives past collections but also symbolizes innovation and growth in a sustainable context.
The installation features plush designs that can seamlessly integrate into home decor—think punk-inspired teddy bears adorned with a mix of symbols like peace signs and yin-yang patterns. Each piece introduces punk and psychedelic elements, harmoniously blended with the softness of knit fabrics, creating an inviting visual experience that dances with light and shadow throughout the day.
