Designer's words “The design plays around with layering techniques, coming directly from my screen printed experiments. Utilising a softer, more uplifting colour palette, the design focuses on the balance of composition within the square format. ” — Jonathan Lawes About Furoshiki Furoshiki (風呂敷, fu-rosh-ki) is a type of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth. It can be used in multiple ways, for bundling or gift-wrapping all sorts of things. We think this particular lighter-weight furoshiki works well for more delicate wrapping and perfectly as a scarf, and it softens up the more you wear and wash it. One simple and beautiful piece of cloth and the list is endless. Tie it and see! Printing process Each of our products has been hand printed in Japan, using traditional printing techniques. We are working with a printing company based in Kyoto, Japan who specialize in the printing of furoshiki. To make sure we get the best results possible, we keep a close dialogue with the printers, retaining a good balance between our ideas and their invaluable knowledge.
