Rhombus Shawl by NUNO

NUNO textiles are incredibly beautiful to look at and have a lovely soft hand. By wrapping a NUNO shawl around your shoulders, or tying a scarf around your neck, you become an active participant in the creative process. No matter how beautiful it is in itself, only you can bring a simple piece of cloth to life as a functional textile.

The NUNO “Rhombus" Shawl was inspired by nanako, an antique Japanese cut-glass pattern in which rows of tiny triangles suggest fish scales. Nanako was originally conceived following the logic that, as scales protect the flesh of fish, this pattern would repel negative energy. Multicolored.

Measures 78.7” L x 23.6” W

100% Wool

Founded in 1984 by Reiko Sudo and Junichi Arai, NUNO is a highly innovative and influential textile design firm based in Tokyo, Japan. The word 'nuno' means fabric in Japanese, and the company - led by Sudo since 1987 - is known for its unconventional, experimental approach to textile design. Combining traditional weaving techniques with state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing technologies, the special production processes behind each of NUNO’s unique designs rely heavily on the expertise of Japan’s highly skilled artisans. Inspiration comes from immediate observation of what materials can and cannot do, and some of NUNO's more interesting fabrics result from hands-on encounters with new, cutting-edge materials and technologies. Examples of NUNO fabrics have been included in many international exhibitions and are held in the permanent collections of numerous major museums worldwide.
