We now move our attention towards an English based designer who has undertaken a project influenced by the design style of Japan, so something that feels quite at home in our archive. Given our admiration for the Japanese style we can be rather predictable with our content sometimes, although we have been quite good lately so I don’t feel all that guilty for sharing this project today. The film compiles a short interview with the designer …

This specific fabric was made at a mill in Lancashire, England which they co-operate with on a regular …
Our friend Taka, owner and founder of Allevol, put us onto this new interview piece that he filmed at Nigel Cabourn’s base in Newcastle, which is beautiful little area as you will see in this short film placed below.
