Blend Canvas

伝統的なシャトル織機で織られた、新しい調和を持つ帆布。

日本の帆布生産地である岡山の倉敷帆布株式会社とDRILL DESIGNの4年に渡る共同開発で完成した。Blend Canvas(ブレンドキャンバス)は帆布の強靭さと同時に、手触りの柔らかさ、美しい色の立体感というインテリアファブリックとして魅力をあわせ持つ布を目指している。シャトルが走る強さ、縦と横の糸の組み合わせ(組織)と色配色、糸の本数(密度)の新しい調和により、Blend Canvasは誕生した。

This is a special Hampu (sailcloth) woven with a traditional shuttle loom and possesses a novel sense of harmony. Blend Canvas is the result of a four year joint development by Kurashiki Canvas Co., Ltd. in Okayama, which is a well known production area of sailcloth in Japan, and Drill Design. Blend Canvas was developed to realize a fabric that has the durability of sailcloth and at the same time demonstrates a soft touch and sense of volume with beautiful colors. Blend Canvas emerged from the strength of the shuttle, the combination of the warp and weft (structure) and the new sense of balance brought by the number of threads (density).
