Sumi & Kyoto

Taking its name from monochromatic Japanese ink painting, Sumi embodies simplicity of style with a functional, minimalist approach. Respecting the authenticity of natural materials and quality craftsmanship, the fabric is made from worsted woven wool using fine marl yarns. This creates subtle gradation in colour for heightened visual interest while retaining the purity of simple, clean lines. Cosy yet contemporary, the soft feel of this fabric invites a homely vibe into contract interiors whilst ensuring a luxurious finish with its tonal sophistication and appearance of luxury apparel. 

Sumi draws on the stylistic features of Japanese ink painting, which uses simple black ink and curated white space to capture the beauty and complexity of the natural world. The delicate brushstroke techniques of tonality and shading are all cleverly replicated in the fabric’s weave construction, worsted wool composition and mélange colouring. Simplicity in its most refined and sophisticated form.
