Boro reflects the Japanese principle of ‘mottainai,’ which is similar to the English phrase ‘Waste not, want not.’ ‘Mottainai’ embraces reducing waste and repurposing objects, suggesting that an object is not merely suited for one purpose.
One of a kind pillow handmade from vintage Japanese Boro textile, featuring woven red and blue striping on one side, and grey and black striping on the reverse. Cut and constructed to preserve the original character, wear, and details of the cloth.
