[TENT appearance] Talk event held at struct
From 17:00 on September 14, 2025, at struct, LEKT's VEIL We will be holding a talk event to preview the new models.
When you think of TENT , many people may think of the names of Haruta and Aoki.
However, the guest speaker this time will be Takeshita Ken, the "third man of TENT . "
In fact, he is the designer who created the VEIL series.
This up-and-coming young designer talks about the reality of his endeavor to " design bags as a tent ," the background of the product, the aims of the structure and materials, and his answer to the question, " What kind of bag do I want? " We present it in the words of someone who knows the field firsthand.
This time, the event will be held in conjunction with the design event " DESIGN WEEKEND OSAKA ," which is held in Osaka .
Be sure to stop by struct on this special weekend when the entire city is decorated with design!
▼About VEIL
VEIL was born from a collaboration between the creative teams TENT and LEKT.
TENT carefully picks up small anomalies and realizations that we find in our everyday lives and gives them critical form.
This project began when LEKT asked them, "We'd like to see what kind of bag TENT himself would really want."
This resulted in the creation of the VEIL backpack, a new concept that combines two bags.
This time, we will introduce the latest model to you in advance.
▼About the talk event
This is a one-night-only talk event where participants will honestly talk about the process of how bags are made and the reality of what goes on in the manufacturing process.
The speakers will be Takeshita Ken of TENT, who designed VEIL, and the LEKT development manager.
Realistic, rough, and thorough voices from the manufacturing field.
The thoughts behind the bag's structure and material selection, as well as what I noticed when actually using it...
This is an exclusive conversation that talks about the "behind the scenes" of design.
