No.9226 Bamboo Slim

The timeless artistry of obi designs passed down through HOSOO is reborn in a new light.

Inspired by the tranquil beauty of Japanese gardens, this design reimagines the traditional bamboo grove from a planar perspective with vivid colors.

By deliberately embracing the subtle negative spaces seen in the archives, it expresses the imperfect beauty inherent in nature. The rhythmically-blooming bamboo leaves poetically reflects the harmonious nature.

This collection was created in collaboration with the Milan-based design duo DIMORESTUDIO. It is inspired by more than 20,000 traditional obi patterns passed down through generations by the HOSOO family. By fusing the traditional beauty of Japan with the chromatic sensibility of Italy, it redefines the timeless value of textiles—creating something to be passed on into the future.
