Limited Edition Items

1. Large Dining Room Mural by Henri Rapin

One of the highlights of this collection is the magnet featuring the mural from the museum's large dining room, originally created by Henri Rapin. This artwork was once the backdrop for dining experiences, with its vibrant colors depicting a red vine shelf and fountain. The magnet intricately captures the texture of the wall, enclosing the ambiance of the garden-view room. The background features gentle textures, while the foreground elevation skillfully illustrates the depth of the mural. This item offers a whimsical experience, transporting viewers through time.

2. Front Entrance Marble Mosaic

The front entrance of the Tokyo Garden Museum boasts a striking glass relief door, complemented by a mosaic of small marbles. This magnet replicates the intricate geometric patterns of natural stone, using skilled craftsmanship to reflect the deep hues and rich textures that change with the time of day or weather. Viewing this piece evokes feelings reminiscent of a mystical encounter, as if one has captured an eternal moment.

3. Stained Glass Light Fixture

Another mesmerizing piece featured in the collection is the magnet, representing the star-shaped stained glass light fixture located at the entrance of the princess’s room. The vibrant colors emanated by the light showcase various perspectives, softly illuminating the space. This item encapsulates the serene experience of watching the lamp glow, evoking a sense of time gently flowing.

PENON’s art goods are meticulously crafted, with designers visiting the actual locations to confirm colors and textures, ensuring that every detail matches the original artwork closely. For pieces that change appearance with natural light, special attention has been given to recreating the true colors, resulting in realistic texturing that closely resembles the originals.
