Stone Island has landed in Tokyo for an elaborate and unprecedented showcase. The Milan-based outerwear brand, renowned for its development and use of innovative materials and experimental dyes, has brought along a selection of key pieces from its vast archive and puts it on display at BA-TSU Art Gallery in Harajuku. Aptly entitled Stone Island Selected Works – An Archival Exhibition, the exhibition sees a wide range of accumulated and carefully preserved pieces since the company was founded in 1982. For Stone Island”s sizeable local fanbase this is an exceptional chance to see an important variety of its archival pieces, which have never exhibited in the Land of the Rising Sun, up close. The showcase, presented in a specially designed scenography, includes items from the first collection and a Prototype Research Series that demonstrates the very latest technology (on through Oct 6).

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
