Hamamonyo Tenugui

HamamonyoNever tire of looking at Japanese cotton wash cloths called tenugui. There are a variety of uses for these fabrics but it’s the traditional and contemporary patterns to which we are drawn. These particular designs are sold under the brand and manufacturer, Hamamonyo, which you can find here in their online shop.

Hannah Waldron

HannahWaldronLondon and Stockholm-based multi-disciplinary artist and designer Hanna Waldron is well known for her amazing textile and tapestry designs. We are particularly liking her illustration style based on a grid-base image making process. There’s a rhythm in all her work where you can see the influences of line, pattern, texture and structures of her surroundings.
