New collection teased

JANTJE_ONTEMBAAR used X on Thursday, April 23, to tease a 2026 collection with a simple “Coming Soon” post. (x.com) The teaser named two designs: “無限モノクローム,” translated as “Infinite Monochrome,” and “無限ポリクローム,” or “Infinite Polychrome.” The post was drawing about 489 likes, 180 reposts and 3,700 views within hours. (x.com) JANTJE_ONTEMBAAR is not a one-off art account. Its official site describes the project as a “PERMANENT POP-UP SHOP” and presents it as an evolving label spanning clothes, accessories, lifestyle goods and other collaborations. (j-o.tokyo) The brand’s online shop was still actively listing products in February 2026, including apparel, blankets, towels and collaboration items with labels such as FUMIE=TANAKA, SANYOCOAT and IMABARI. Prices on the shop page ranged from ¥1,980 towels to ¥170,500 coats. (shop.j-o.tokyo) That makes Thursday’s post less like an isolated sketch drop and more like an early signal for the next branded art cycle. The two new titles also suggest a color-based split: one centered on black-and-white imagery, the other on multicolor work. (x.com) The label has long tied original artwork to merchandise and collaborations rather than limiting it to gallery-style releases. Its own shop language says it aims to be “not a select shop” and “not a brand,” but “a place” that keeps evolving. (shop.j-o.tokyo) For now, the April 23 post did not include a launch date, prices or product list for the 2026 collection. What it did show was immediate audience attention — and a first look at the names likely to anchor the next release. (x.com)
