We are dedicated at t.h.e. Design House to the magnificent and even sublime original material and textiles involved in the culture of handcrafted Japanese fabrics at their finest and their applications over the centuries in design, fashion and art.

Central to that dedication is our global commitment to introducing and sharing the culture of Japanese fabrics throughout the world. We strive to lead in opening the world at large to our deep appreciation for the true wonder, beauty and value that are heir to the extraordinary legacies, traditional techniques and priceless wisdom that inform and inspire the ever evolving new and inventive applications possible in the worlds of Japanese fabrics, particularly in the cultures of kimono and hyosogire fabric framing and mounting. t.h.e. Design House fabrics we work with and the artisans that produce the original fabric we design are meticulously sourced and curated from every corner of every region of the islands of Japan.
