Tokyo Salone x Teenage Engineering
Tokyo, Japan — 2026
Something rare is taking shape.
Teenage Engineering and Semi Permanent have begun working together, quietly, deliberately, as co-conspirators in the ongoing curation of Tokyo Salone.
Not a partnership.
A shared signal.
This collaboration brings together two distinct yet aligned practices. Semi Permanent, with more than two decades of global cultural programming, and Teenage Engineering, known for redefining the intersection of sound, design, and engineering through curiosity, reduction, and experimentation.
Together, they shape Tokyo Salone as a living cultural system. One that moves across disciplines, formats, and time.
“There’s a natural chemistry here, a shared way of seeing, of listening, of building. With Teenage Engineering, we’re not just shaping Tokyo Salone for this moment, but laying the foundation for what it becomes over time. Together, we’re creating something that can travel, evolve, and return, carried by the communities we build with.” — Ana Arriola-Kanada, Chairwoman,
「 yes, 」 / Tokyo Salone & Semi Permanent
Tokyo Salone unfolds as a city-wide platform for creative futures, convening architects, technologists, chefs, artists, makers, and operators in shared rooms designed for exchange, proximity, and the evolution of ideas.
“There’s a rare alignment in how we think about culture, not as something fixed, but something you build with others, over time. Tokyo Salone feels like the right place to do that. What starts here won’t stay here. It will move, connect, and keep growing through the people and places it touches.” — Emil Kullänger, Head of PR / First Contact, Teenage Engineering
The full expressions of this collaboration will take place in November 2026.
