Hitoe celebrates the interweaving of fabrics found in traditional Japanese kimonos. Tufted by hand, it combines bamboo and wool, and it is this pairing that gives richness to the motifs across the rug: the sheen of bamboo fibre playing against the depth of wool, so the pattern shifts in emphasis as the light and the viewing angle change. A rug with a textile sensibility, behaving less like a floor covering than like cloth laid down.
