Formal aesthetic and yet playful. The shape is familiar but the splendour of vintage kimono silks creates something wholly original. The focus is on the details: the motives, the techniques, the structures. The vibrancy of the materials breaks up the lamp’s minimal form and enriches it.

A sophisticated Eurasian interpretation of patchwork design – perhaps even an allegory of our times. A magnificent interaction between Indian dupioni silk and splendid kimono fragments. Perfect handcraft.

The highlight of the sai so edition. Brilliant contrast: Japanese motifs and Indian colours. For individual customers, we manufacture extraordinary bolsters using sections of Indian silks and portions of vintage Japanese kimonos handcrafted in the finest quality. The clear form leaves space for ornamentation. Every single piece is unique.
