COLLECTION

NENDO

In collaboration with Japanese design studio Nendo, we introduce a new textile collection, ‘Sky Drops’. Inspired by the ephemeral beauty and movement of rain, the collection explores the shifting moods of rainfall through five distinctive textile designs, each capturing a unique atmospheric quality.

In Japanese, there are over 40 words to describe different types of rain, while in English, there are just a handful. This subtle richness in language reflects Japan’s deep sensitivity to nature and emotion. Through our collaboration with Nendo, we sought to express this cultural nuance, merging Eastern sensibility with the artisanal depth of Christopher Farr Cloth to create a collection that feels both poetic and purposeful, capturing the rythm of rain.

Cloudy Day, Cloudy Night, Haze, Drizzle, and Squall make up this special collaboration with Nendo. Our fall launch also features Asama Ecru, a luxurious sheer fabric, along with a selection of playful yet durable wallpapers.

ABOUT NENDO

Known for their minimalist aesthetic infused with wit and subtle humour, Nendo’s designs often use simple forms to surprise and delight - what Sato calls a “!” moment.
