At Nuno—which is Japanese for fabric—we blend the traditional and the contemporary. Since our start in 1984, Nuno has worked exclusively with weavers and dyers in Japan, combining old practices with new technologies to create textiles that are original, distinctive, and fresh. We are honored that Nuno designs are in the collections of major museums around the world.
NunoWorks was launched in 2002 as a showcase for hand-printed textiles—silk-screened, stamped, or stenciled—that are bold and modern. As we go forward, our energies are focused on taking the next step for Nuno.
NUNOは、伝統と現代を紡ぎ、独自の布づくりをおこなっています。1984年の設立以来、日本各地に残る染織産地で新しい素材、技術を組み合わせ独創的な布地をつくり続けています。これまで制作した布地の数々は、世界各国の美術館に永久保存されています。
NUNO WORKSは、2002年にスタートしました。型染、シルクスクリーン、転写をはじめ、様々な捺染技法で仕上げる布づくりを展開し、大胆な構図、モダンな色使いが高く評価されています。
NUNO、NUNO WORKSがつくるテキスタイルは、伝統的な染織技術と現代のテクノロジーとが融合した「現代の布」づくりを目指しています。
