The Charm of Plants: Transforming Everyday Scenes into the Extraordinary
Plant artist Satoshi Kawamoto, who advocates a unique styling through collaborations with various brands and designers worldwide, also directs "GREEN FINGERS," with nine stores in Japan and one in New York.
The space, which will exhibit his interior styling and drawings expressed with his unique sensibility, is an installation space where plants take center stage, yet it condenses Kawamoto's worldview.
In the installation space, filled with surprise and discovery, visitors will encounter plants that reveal various expressions, creating an exhibition that inspires them to begin a life with plants.
To commemorate the release of his latest book, "Deco Room with Plants –here and there," scheduled for release on Wednesday, November 18th, a GREEN FINGERS Limited Store will also open within the venue. Popular products and books will be available for sale.
