Kewai's 'Sense of Spring Collection' Makes Its Japanese Debut at DESIGNART TOKYO 2025

Kewai's 'Sense of Spring Collection' Comes to Tokyo

As the season begins to transform, Kewai, a Tokyo-based brand known for interpreting nature's essence, announces its debut at DESIGNART TOKYO 2025. This event marks the first showing of their acclaimed 'Sense of Spring collection,' which was originally unveiled during the Milan Design Week this April.

Capturing the Essence of Spring

The 'Sense of Spring collection' beautifully encapsulates the fleeting moment when cherry blossoms drift on the wind. Kewai utilizes thousands of meticulously hand-cut petals to express the Japanese aesthetic concepts of "the beauty of transience" and "wabi-sabi." Each piece not only represents spring but is imbued with the very essence of time—light and air. As you gaze upon the artworks, memories and emotions subtly resurface, inviting a profound connection.
