Celebrate the history and explore the unique universe of tokidoki in this nearly 400-page monograph

tokidoki, which translates to “sometimes” in Japanese, is an internationally recognized and iconic lifestyle brand based on the vision of Italian artist Simone Legno. Since debuting in 2005, tokidoki has amassed a cult-like following for its larger-than-life characters and has emerged as a sought-after global lifestyle brand.

tokidoki has managed to develop commercial public collaborations with brands and organizations like Sephora, Levi's, MLB, the San Francisco Giants, and T-Mobile, while also developing more artistic partnerships with Karl Lagerfeld and the Guggenheim museum, and crossovers with other iconic pop culture characters like Barbie, Hello Kitty, Marvel heroes, and Peanuts.

About the Authors:

Simone Legno (Co-Founder/Chief Creative Officer) of tokidoki was born in Rome, Italy.  Legno, who has always had a deep love of Japan and a fascination with world cultures, chose the word tokidoki because he feels “everyone waits for moments that change one’s destiny, by chance or by meeting a new person.”  Simone has become a sought-after speaker around the world at museums, universities, and conferences, from MOCA to the Adobe MAX conference, Flash Film Festival, Art Center College of Design, Apple store in Osaka, Istituto Europeo di Design, STGCC, and Grafika Manila. While the company is based in L.A., he has recently moved to Tokyo with his family. 

Pooneh Mohajer, an entrepreneur at heart who sold her first company Hard Candy Inc. to LVMH, Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA, is the cofounder and chief executive officer of tokidoki. Pooneh received her Juris Doctor from California Western School of Law and her BA from Vanderbilt University. Pooneh’s passion is making a positive impact on the hearts and minds of others by sharing Simone Legno’s art and creativity with the world.  

With the amount of progress, humankind has made in attitudes and achievements to-date, the time cannot be more apt than now to celebrate how far women have come in the creative industry today.

This book brings together over one hundred and twentyfive pieces from among the more than nine hundred in the Morgan Library & Museum’s collection, including preliminary sketches, final watercolors, and cardboard models. Essays in the book discuss the importance of music to Sendak’s work, his fascination with comic strips, movies, mechanical toys, and pop-up books, and the artworks that inspired his stage designs. The book reveals the full breadth of Sendak’s visual work for opera and ballet and highlights his keen sense of humor, his love of art history, and his ability to tell striking stories through his art.
