Omote is the top woven part of a tatami mat, a traditional Japanese floor covering used in private homes and temples to create a welcoming environment. It investigates the minimalistic structure of tatami replacing traditional Japanese igusa straw with strips of felted wool, dyed in signature shades.
Experimenting with the handloom process, an iconic Indian production technique, natural yarns are woven around the cozy and insulating felt, recreating the suppleness and softness of the tatami mat.
