Dries Van Noten will present an exhibition of new work by Misha Kahn at The Little House, 451 La Cienega Blvd. in Los Angeles. “Watermelon Party” includes a small domestic setting featuring Kahn’s VR-created Claymation furniture and table lamps in a broad range of materials, from auto-painted resin to 3D-printed plastic. Kahn has also hand-painted a limited-run of Dries Van Noten’s beloved silk bomber jackets. The show’s title, ‘Watermelon Party,’ reflects Kahn’s take on a curious last year. A few months into quarantine, from his parents’ house in Duluth, Minnesota, their neighbors invited his family over for a watermelon party. For weeks leading up to the event, starved for socialization, they speculated what might happen at the watermelon party.

About
Fondazione Dries Van Noten
Founded by Dries Van Noten and Patrick Vangheluwe and housed within the historic Palazzo Pisani Moretta overlooking the Canal Grande, Fondazione Dries Van Noten celebrates craftsmanship as a vital language of cultural identity. Here, ideas take form through material, gesture, and the patient passage of time, as mind and hands meet in the act of creation. The Fondazione inhabits a space of transition, carrying traditions forward while continually reinventing them. Opening in April 2026, the Fondazione brings together established voices and emerging creators alike across art, design, fashion, architecture, food, and beyond. By encouraging cross-pollination between disciplines, it sparks fresh perspectives, bridges history with the present, and connects creativity rooted in place with global perspectives.
