EVENT｜"Mid Nineties Modern by Michael Young" at KEF Music Gallery Tokyo

An exhibition by Michael Young Studio will be held at KEF Music Gallery Tokyo from 12th to 18th December.

British designer Michael Young worked at designer Tom Dixon's studio during the 1990s before establishing his own studio in the United Kingdom in 1993. Since 2006, he has been based in Hong Kong, undertaking a wide range of design projects.

In 1994, we unveiled the 'MAGAZINE SOFA', which was also E&Y's first collection. Subsequently, we continued to release numerous collections with him throughout the 2000s.
Now, to mark the 30th anniversary of the 'MAGAZINE SOFA' launch, we are exhibiting and accepting orders for a limited edition to commemorate this milestone.

At the venue, you can also view a wide range of works, from furniture designed in recent years to pieces created in the 1990s.

This exhibition will be held as an extension of "DESIGNTIDE TOKYO 2025", taking place from 12th to 14th December.
Should you be in the vicinity, we warmly invite you to drop by.
