INTERSECTION - Dutch Modernism Edit

From April 4th to April 9th, 2026, Lloyds Antiques Aoyama in Tokyo will host an extraordinary exhibition titled INTERSECTION - Dutch Modernism Edit curated by renowned interior stylist Kanae Ishii. This exhibition uniquely blends Dutch vintage aesthetics with elements from British and Nordic design, creating a harmonious convergence that invites visitors to explore a refreshing stylistic approach.

The Essence of Dutch Vintage

At the heart of this exhibition lies the essence of Dutch vintage, characterized by its clear shapes born from practicality, combined with a touch of freedom in design. Kanae Ishii intends to showcase how these vintage pieces can interact and coexist, bringing back their original beauty into modern living spaces. This exhibition exemplifies how furniture pieces from different backgrounds can form relationships without overwhelming each other, maintaining a comfortable distance while still being expressive.

Creating Relationships through Design

Ishii believes that not obsessively perfecting arrangements but rather embracing a natural, somewhat imperfect relationship between items is fundamental. The layered times embodied in vintage furnishings serve as a reminder of the comfort and aesthetic appeal that these pieces can bring into today’s living environments. Visitors will find a new kind of tranquility and depth created through these interactions, encouraging them to reflect on the meaning behind choosing and layering design elements in their own spaces.
