Contemporary artist Tom Sachs works in collaboration with BEAMS for the streetwear label's Harajuku pop-up event with a new collaborative NASA t-shirt and set of chairs. The event is set to run from April 19th to May 6th and features exclusive designs spotlighting the folding chairs and tees that have been decorated in NASA graphic themes alongside co-branding accents.
The tee features a clean white base as the foundation and notably incorporates the Japanese and American flag to reference the contributing efforts. The chest highlights NASA's branding emblems and on the back reads Sachs' mantra, "It Won't Fail Because of Me." The tees and folding chairs are available for as long as the pop-up event runs from in Tokyo.
