KEITH HARING
Keith Haring created this artwork as a sign of global peace. It was meant to signify people all over the world coming together to stand for peace on earth.
KEITH HARING
Artist
A key figure in New York’ s East Village scene in the late 1970s and 80s, American artist Keith Haring’ s artwork populated not only art galleries, but also the city’ s subways, streets, and sidewalks. His work often combined an iconographic vocabulary, including hearts, flying saucers, winged figures, and a crawling “radiant baby,” with abstract marks and patterning.
LISA LARSON
The picture speaks of unconditional friendship and trust. The vulnerable girl sits on the back of a wild beast. We have to trust in Peace and choose the path of Peace.
The lion symbolises strength, loyalty and bravery. It takes bravery to turn against violence.
To protect the young girl means protecting the future of the human race.
Trust is not being afraid. Peace is strength.
LISA LARSON

In 1992, she co-founded Keramikstudion Gustavsberg. Full of life, Lisa continues to make new designs for production, and unique (one-off) ceramic pieces.
PEANUTS
The group of friends who inhabit the world of Peanuts display a wide range of personalities: bold, nervous, romantic, curious, thoughtful, and adventurous. What unites them is their friendships and sense of community. For decades, the characters have resonated with fans for displaying all the elements of humanity. This design captures both the love the characters have for one another and the love that Peanuts inspires around the world.

GORDON REID
“Challenge and Change the World”
I've told myself to "never stop challenging" ever since I started playing wheelchair tennis. I would consider it as an honor if my efforts and my passion helped to motivate others and inspired them to continue pushing themselves in the face of challenges in life. It is with this in mind that I have decided to participate in this project.

“Boarders have no Borders”
I’ve interacted with people from different countries through snowboarding and skateboarding since I was a child and I’ve learned a lot since then. It's great that you can enjoy an exciting session with a single board, regardless of which country you are from. Times like those make me wish we could all live our daily lives without forgetting to respect each other.

What can I do? The first thing that springs to mind is to put my all into PLAYing tennis and to enjoy it. I want to give hope to as many people as I can and encourage their dreams by determining to play my very best and always remembering to enjoy tennis.

SHINGO KUNIEDA
“PEACE WILL GET US THROUGH”
Whenever I play wheelchair tennis in different places around the world, I am always struck by the power of sports that enables us to mutually respect and challenge other players and enjoy the vocal support from the crowd, unfettered by national borders. I hope as many people as possible get to experience the wonder of sharing emotions when watching or playing sports themselves. That desire inspired me to participate in this project.

Kosuke Kawamura
“GIVE THIS WORLD GOOD ENERGY”
Collecting and melding disjointed individual pieces into one creates a large presence and power. I created this design thinking that if everyone could transmit even tiny pieces of positive energy in their own way, then the world would move in a better direction.

Christophe Lemaire
This design's combination of the peace symbol of the dove with two hands expresses our desire to “care.”
If we want peace for all, we must question our lifestyles and materialistic values. This means we need to relearn how to care for the planet. With time, we can protect bio-diversity and create decent, sustainable living conditions. This change is possible. It is just a matter of good will.

HANA TAJIMA
“peace”
I wanted to create a design that would represent how we are all connected to the earth and to each other. Our own joy also contains the joy of others. When we bring peace to others we can also bring peace to ourselves. And when we are all free to be joyful, the world is a more colorful, and more abundant place.

Tadao Ando
“The Earth is One”
In today’s increasingly fragmented world, we need to reacquaint ourselves with the fact that we all live together on one single planet. That is why I have used this particular message. To achieve “The Earth is One,” it is vital that each one of us thinks very carefully about what we, as individuals, can do for society.

“Peace for all”
Today designers and fashion brands must be generous and think firmly about the world and about humanity. I believe people will enjoy participating in this new and ongoing commitment and in expressing their views about peace in such a pacific way. Don’t you want to wear this T-shirt?

Shinya Yamanaka
“Humanity must progress.”
I took part because I wanted to do something useful as an individual in addition to promoting research as a physician-scientist. The ability of science and technology to change the world for the better is entirely dependent on the people who use it. So I added the message “Humanity must progress.”
