Hobonichi - minä perhonen: aalto | A6 Planner Cover

minä perhonen creates timeless, all-original garment textiles that are specially dyed, embroidered, and woven to recreate hand-drawn designs.

Using plenty of water to mix in with the paint and a flat brush, a collection of arcs that blend together is created for the aalto. This textile was made with transparent watercolour which overlaps in layers, making them look like waves that continue into the distance, and to the far reaches of an endless sea.

The fabric is a linen with a smooth texture. The interior comes in a deep blue shade, while the two bookmarks are yellow and grey, respectively.

About the Artist

minä perhonen is a brand created by designer Akira Minagawa. First founded in 1995 under the name minä, and renamed “minä perhonen” in 2003. In Finnish, “minä” means “I,” and “perhonen” means “butterfly,” expressing Minagawa’s hopes to create designs as light-hearted and beautiful as a butterfly’s flapping wings.

This is a cover only and does not include the Techo book. The book is available here.
