Not Only for Lovers, but for Everyone Who Loves.
What does love mean to you?
With Valentine’s Day included, February is recognized as the month of love. Love comes in various shapes and forms: Romantic love shared among couples, motherly love, affection towards pets, self-love, and many more.
Even with many speculations surrounding the origins of Valentine’s Day, the most compelling myth is the love story of Saint Valentine, a 3rd-century Roman priest. During Saint Valentine’s lifetime in Rome, the emperor banned marriages to keep his men in the military focused on the battlefield. Saint Valentine knew that love could not be stopped, and he wedded young lovers, which he was imprisoned for, and was eventually executed. In his cell, he fell in love with his jailor’s daughter, and before his death on February 14th, he wrote her a love letter. This is what many believe to be the history of Valentine’s Day.
Celebrating this special month, Studio Kō launched a special collection with the theme of Love. We collaborated with five artists and asked them, “What does love mean to you?”
All using different materials, the five artists created one-of-a-kind artwork of Love with their interpretation.
