Akira Minagawa launched Minä (now Minä Perhonen) in 1995 with the hope that the brand would last at least a hundred years. He has since continued to think about the future through the perspective of design.
A Paris-based architect, Tsuyoshi Tane draws inspiration from memories associated with land and place, helping to preserve and pass down such legacies to future generations through architectural design.
The two will share their core ideas using such keywords as memory, history, future, inheritance, the environment, thought, and continuity.
The discussion will be followed by a question-and-answer session and a reception.
