TEMBEA
ORIGINAL PRINT

Each season, many look forward to seeing what kind of illustrations appear in TEMBEA’s printed series. I’m one of them.

Last year, we worked with archive prints for a special order, and at that time, we asked if it would be possible to create an original print exclusively for COVERCHORD.
This marks the first time TEMBEA has created a print entirely from scratch. After many discussions with the team, we arrived at a theme inspired by the Meguro River, which runs just in front of COVERCHORD Nakameguro.

While the cherry blossom season is of course special, the area is usually filled with a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere.
People walking their dogs, going for a run, or enjoying coffee at the nearby SIDEWALK COFFEE STAND. We wanted to capture these everyday scenes in TEMBEA’s distinctive illustrative style.
Within the print, you’ll find subtle details such as the bench in front of the store and coffee cups from SIDEWALK COFFEE STAND.

The main motif features eleven different dogs, each with its own character, gradually growing on you the more you look.
Although it is a patterned design, the illustrations are kept small, making it easy to pair with simple styling.
