TOKIDOKI / SIMONE LEGNO for Culture Cartel 2022
CULTURE CARTEL PRESS: 'Simone Legno (Co-Founder/Chief Creative Officer) of tokidoki was born in Rome, Italy. Legno drew incessantly as a child. The boxes of chewed, broken and unsharpened pencils he adored as a kid were the beginnings of a passion for art that led to the eventual creation of tokidoki, which means “sometimes” in Japanese. Legno, who has always had a deep love of Japan and fascination with world cultures, chose the word because he feels “everyone waits for moments that change one’s destiny, by chance or by meeting a new person”. Simone's special moment arrived when his designs drew the attention of entrepreneurs, Pooneh Mohajer and Ivan Arnold, who spied the art on his personal website and convinced him to move to Los Angeles to build a global brand.'
Mr Legno is currently in Singapore for a solo art show titled "KAWAIIMPRESSIONISM" exhibiting at @artnowsg (Nov 26, 2022 to March 26, 2023), and is as well an Invited Artist for Singapore Comic Con (Dec 10-11, 2022). Head to the tokidoki booth F3 at Culture Cartel to see what awesomeness can be had this week/weekend!
