Перша всеохоплююча монографія NUNO, однієї з найбільш інноваційних і шанованих студій текстильного дизайну в Японії.

Названа простим словом, що означає «тканина», NUNO є однією з найважливіших японських компаній текстильного дизайну. Заснована в 1984 році легендарним Джунічі Араї та нинішнім директором компанії Рейко Судо, вона визнана одним із найбільш інноваційних виробників текстилю у світі. Дизайнери NUNO, відомі тим, що поєднують традиції та передові технології, надихаються минулим, сьогоденням і майбутнім, поєднуючи несподівані елементи, такі як папір, пір’я чи алюміній, із промисловими методами, такими як напилення та хімічне травлення. Усі текстильні вироби NUNO (їх було створено понад 2500) виробляються в Японії та зазвичай є ручною роботою окремого майстра. Кожен шматок тканини має свою історію.

Хоча їхні текстильні вироби регулярно з’являються в книгах, на виставках текстилю та в музейних колекціях, повної монографії NUNO не існувало досі. У книзі представлені найвидатніші, найвпливовіші чи експериментальні тканини, книга складається з семи розділів, кожен з яких базується на темі, яка походить від звукоподражального зв’язку в японській мові, що визначає сімейство тканин. Наприклад, «Shima Shima», що означає «смугастий», представляє смугасті малюнки від яскравих і контрастних, як у зебри, до тонко строкатих, як у смугастого кота. На основі інтерв’ю, архівних досліджень та відвідин заводів тексти проілюстровані спеціально замовленими фотографіями та малюнками. Між собою розміщено есе багатьох авторів, від письменника Харукі Муракамі та архітектора Тойо Іто до куратора Анни Джексон.

Поєднуючи всі нитки разом у чудово оформленому пакеті, NUNO є документом виняткової краси та рідкісним уявленням про суть японського дизайну.

Pierre Frey, the leading French producer of furniture textiles and wallcoverings, seamlessly combines artisanal craftsmanship with modernity.

The fourth volume in Thames & Hudsons celebrated series cataloguing the al-Sabah collection, this book features a unique collection of carpets and textile fragments from the pre-Islamic and early Islamic world.

The Sasanian fragments fill a substantial gap in the early history of pile carpets, dating from the second to the eighth century ad, and make a valuable contribution of the understanding of local artistic traditions. The second half of the book is devoted to post-Sasanian and Sogdian silks dating from the sixth to the tenth century. A wave of these beautiful textiles has reached the West since the turn of the 21st century, and here they are divided into variants featuring birds, mammals and mythological creatures, which retain their glowing colours and lively charm.

Are you "High Style" or "Boho," or maybe "Happy Modern" or "Trad with a Twist"? The legendary fabrics and wallpapers house of Schumacher shows how you can use their iconic prints and patterns to create a variety of beautiful, chic interiors in the style that most suits you.

With a focus on Schumacher's greatest contemporary patterns -- everything from classic stripes and exuberant florals to edgy animal prints -- this accessible and highly useful style guide is organized thematically by chapters such as "Sensual & Spare"; "Preppy"; "Ladylike"; "Exuberant"; and "Opulent," with each featuring a stunning selection of patterns along with inspiring interiors designed in the same spirit. To help readers better understand their style preferences, every chapter begins with a questionnaire, for example: "Are You an Acolyte of High Style?" "Do You Prefer a Midnight Supper to a Power Lunch?"; "Consider Jewel Tones Neutral?"; "Think Champagne Is Not Just for Special Occasions?"

Page after page after page of lavish imagery and pattern details are juxtaposed alongside beautiful interiors designed by such luminaries as Miles Redd, Tom Scheerer, Amanda Lindroth, Celerie Kemble, Veere Grenney, and Mark D. Sikes, to name a few, illustrating how Schumacher's iconic patterns can be integrated into a wide range of chic and stylish room designs. The texts provide insights and tips on how patterns can be used in your decor, along with guidance for deciding what style is best for you and your home.

Full of inspiring design ideas, as well as an unparalleled resource of prints and patterns, S Is for Style is a visual feast of interior design for all styles and tastes.

This inspiring book shows you how to record your experiences, using sketchbooks, journals and photography, to create personal narratives that can form a starting point for more finished stitched-textile pieces.

She explains how you can use photography, both as documentation and as inspiration, and sometimes incorporate it into the work itself, along with found objects and ephemera.

Throughout the book are useful techniques that can be harnessed to add extra interest to your work, such as methods for making layered collages, how to 'sketch' with stitch, and advice on design and colour. If you want to create beautiful, unique work inspired by your life and travels, this is the perfect book for you.

From rugged Japanese firemen’s ceremonial robes and austere rural workwear to colourful, delicately-patterned cotton kimonos, this lavishly illustrated volume explores Japan’s rich tradition of textiles.

Textiles are an eloquent form of cultural expression and of great importance in the daily life of a people, as well as in their rituals and ceremonies. The traditional clothing and fabrics featured in this book were made and used in the islands of the Japanese archipelago between the late 18th and the mid-20th century. The Thomas Murray collection featured in this book includes daily dress, workwear, and festival garb and follows the Arts and Crafts philosophy of the Mingei Movement, which saw that modernization would leave behind traditional art forms such as the hand-made textiles used by country people, farmers, and fisherman. It presents subtly patterned cotton fabrics, often indigo dyed from the main islands of Honshu and Kyushu, along with garments of the more remote islands: the graphic bark cloth, nettle fiber, and fish skin robes of the aboriginal Ainu in Hokkaido and Sakhalin to the north, and the brilliantly coloured cotton kimonos of Okinawa to the far south. Numerous examples of these fabrics, photographed in exquisite detail, offer insight into Japan’s complex textile history as well as inspiration for today’s designers and artists. This volume explores the range and artistry of the country’s tradition of fiber arts and is an essential resource for anyone captivated by the Japanese aesthetic.

About the Authors:

Thomas Murray is a dealer of Asian and tribal art and has an extensive personal collection of Japanese and Indonesian textiles. He is a past president of the Antique Tribal Art Dealers Association (ATADA), and served on President Obama's Cultural Property Advisory Committee at the Department of State in Washington, DC.
