Furoshiki
TAFFETA SMART WRAP
THE CHARMING WAY OF PACKAGING
THE CHARMING WAY OF PACKAGING
FUROSHIKI – A JAPANESE TRADITION
Furoshiki cloths have been used in everyday life in Japan for ages in a variety of ways. Taffetas in the loveliest combinations of colours from the KATHARINA HOVMAN archives are artfully knotted to form charming packaging, bags and minibags. Two sides, two colours: one wrapping. To wrap things, give as a gift, or for storage – a lasting joy. Tradition as inspiration. Sustainability as motivation.
An upcycling product idea from WAAN.
