TAILOR MADE CURTAINS Characterised by state-of-the-art weaving technology, refined materials and multidimensional colours, Tailor Made explores the concept of fine-tailoring applied to interiors.

3 TAILOR MADE CURTAINS Characterised by state-of-the-art weaving technology, refined materials and multidimensional colours, Tailor Made explores the concept of fine-tailoring applied to interiors. In doing so, the collection translates the particular sensation of well-being that comes from wearing tailored garments into spaces. Reflecting this, the curtains and rugs comprising the collection are worn by interiors. Surprising and intricate, they consistently unveil fresh haptic and visual traits, as well as providing illuminating insights into the essence of the environments they inhabit. Like tailored attire, the textiles in the collection act as a medium for selfexpression. For instance, with the curtain Clique, press buttons in metallic hues are transformed into tools for sculpting shape and drape, according to individual taste. Intriguing new interpretations of classic motifs associated with tailoring are a defining feature of Tailor Made. The collection forms a meticulous language from archetypal patterns in weaves and materials, such as herringbone, polka dot, argyle and pinstripe, as well as bouclé, cord and tweed. In addition, Tailor Made offers a scale of sensuous structures and surfaces, which reference fine-tailoring. Ranging from transparent and airy to natural and dense, these engage in a lively dialogue with vivid effect yarns and special finishes. Further building on the concept of tailor made, all the curtains in the collection gain a strong sculptural aspect when draped. They play with perception and highlight materiality: pattern fuses with structure; form is shaped by surface; colours unite into shades. The colour concept for Tailor Made infuses the collection with exceptional versatility as it draws on mixed tones and refined palettes to unfold subtle gradations and fresh notes. This evocative, nuanced approach to colour ensures the Tailor Made rugs and curtains can be combined in many ways while seamlessly adapting to typical architectural surfaces and materials. Notably wood, stone and metal. The collection is designed by Creative Director Isa Glink and her team. Lino Lino 14, Tweex 13, Sashi 23, Kanon 14, Teamer 14, Straw

Due to the folds, the print does not cover the entire curtain. This creates white spaces that emerge from its surface. The intriguing contrasts between the graphic print and the delicate folds gives Suki a particularly multidimensional presence. Suki is coordinated with and features the same ground as Davos. Width 115 cm Material 100 % polyester Colours 4 Colour 0006 Toyo II is a re-edition of a classic curtain from the Kinnasand collection. Crafted from spun yarns of flame retardant Trevira CS, it offers a sculptural expression of interwoven wide bands. Toyo II derives its exceptional dynamism from a complex double weave construction: the chalky natural notes of the spun yarn, which emerge from the denser parts, coordinate with the transparent monofil yarns that appear to be on its surface. This creates a three-dimensional effect that is most pronounced when the curtain is draped horizontally. It can be confectioned vertically too.

SCRAP_CMYK BY RIKAKO NAGASHIMA FOR KINNASAND LAB Scrap_CMYK is a curtain collection created by the Japanese graphic designer Rikako Nagashima for Kinnasand Lab.

With Scrap_CMYK, Rikako Nagashima takes inspiration from, and gives new life to, waste test-print paper sheets and their accidental patterns.

The collection unites the aesthetic, graphic expressions of the paper sheets into a digitally printed series of curtains, which are characterised by surprising designs and intriguing rhythms.

Curiously, this imbues the designs with an almost painted expression, as well as a particular dimensionality and depth.

12 SCRAP_CMYK BY RIKAKO NAGASHIMA FOR KINNASAND LAB Scrap_CMYK is a curtain collection created by the Japanese graphic designer Rikako Nagashima for Kinnasand Lab. It comprises four designs and the plain base fabric made out of 100% recycled polyester. With Scrap_CMYK, Rikako Nagashima takes inspiration from, and gives new life to, waste test-print paper sheets and their accidental patterns. These are produced during the off-set printing process when fine tuning colours. The collection unites the aesthetic, graphic expressions of the paper sheets into a digitally printed series of curtains, which are characterised by surprising designs and intriguing rhythms. The marks left by the printing machines vary in intensity, depth and precision: some are virtually invisible or bleed organically; others are more clearly defined blocks and stripes. Curiously, this imbues the designs with an almost painted expression, as well as a particular dimensionality and depth. The woven ground material for the curtains is made of specially developed 100 % recycled polyester, which is produced from used plastic bottles. This has a crepe-like character reminiscent of matt, sandy paper and chimes with Rikako Nagashima s concept of transforming end-of-life into new life. The colour concept for Scrap_CMYK precisely matches the inks used in the off-set printing process: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (black). Each of the designs is solely linked to one of these specific colour settings. Rikako Nagashima: I often consider how I can use the concept of upcycling in my work, giving something that was once considered waste, new value. For this collaboration with Kinnasand Lab, I took scrap papers from various projects at my graphic design practice and highlighted the ink stains and print errors as a serendipitous design pattern. Rikako Nagashima Born in 1980, Rikako Nagashima is a graduate of the Musashino Art University. She is a founder and principal of the design studio, village. Her work spans graphic design, art direction, signage, and editorial design. Rikako Nagashima s aim is to question existing viewpoints by collaborating with clients and organisations, particularly dealing in the fields of environment, art, welfare, and culture. She also runs her personal art practice called Human Nature, which questions the relationship between humankind and nature. 21

16 Appendix 1 Fil-coupé is a weaving pattern made with additional, floating warp or weft threads. These threads are cut after weaving to produce various effects in colour, transparency and design. 2 A jacquard weave is created through a loom process, which is programmed to raise each warp thread independently of the other threads. This allows for more detailed, complex designs and large repeats. 3 A shrinkage yarn contracts to become smaller than its original size when treated. This has the effect of densifying the material and leads to the creation of vivid, three-dimensional surfaces. 4 Leno weave is a technique in which two warp yarns are twisted around the weft yarns to provide a strong yet sheer fabric. The technique produces an open weave structure characterised by exceptional resistance to yarn slippage. 5 Causticisation is a treatment with alkaline substances that significantly improves the fabric s quality. The weave becomes denser and properties improve. The process also structures the surface. 29
