K3

Cross-cultural influences converge in the work of renowned fashion designer Kenzo Takada, who founded K3, a lifestyle and homeware brand. The brand debuted in 2020 at the Maison & Objet fair in Paris with a curated 300-piece collection by Italian and Japanese artisans embodying three themes reflected in color combinations: Shogun (black, white, and gold), Maiko (rosy hues from kimonos and geisha make-up), and Sakura (spring flowers). For Takada, design is about the harmony conferred through colors and patterns inspired by Eastern and Western aesthetics with a modern twist.
