Made with 100% New Zealand wool yarn.

もちろん、制作の背景はSTUDIO THE BLUE BOYの製品と同じ生産地である京都・日本で。

素材は、ニュージーランドウール100%の糸を使用。

The process begins with an interview with Keisuke Shoda, founder and designer of STUDIO THE BLUE BOY; then, the production process is shared with the artisans, and the artisans complete the rugs at a weaving factory in Kyoto.

“I wanted to create a beautiful piece of furniture, an ultimate item that compliments people’s lifestyles. The first thing that came to mind was the rug.”

Keisuke Shoda—an inspiring art director/graphic designer whose work is seen not only in Japan but all around the world—has founded STUDIO THE BLUE BOY. Since little, he has been interested in art and expressing his creativity on canvas. The art-rugs are his drawings morphing into a real life object—They are born from the extent of his representations that render architectures, interior designs, furniture, and sceneries that he has encountered in his journeys. Shoda is deft at transforming his designs into exquisite shapes, and highly perceptive of selecting exceptional materials and defining superlative manufacturing processes. Each rug is meticulously handmade by the textile craftsman in Kyoto, and every intricate task, from dying to weaving, is done in one studio. The abstract style, texture, and pleasant feel of the rug—The wonderfully quirky shaped creation gives visual joy, and a subtle romantic escape from an ordinary life.  

Material

STUDIO THE BLUE BOY uses 100% New Zealand wool for all the rugs. The wool is progressed to spun yarns; then put through hot water, dyed with colors and dried for the end result.

Drawing

The colors are carefully planned out based on the redrafts of Shoda’s rough sketch stretched out to the actual size of the product. 

Tufting

The dyed yarns are made neatly into yarn cones using a winder. The yarn cones are then placed on a small portable machine called a hook gun (or a tufting gun) that is used manually to weave a rug with a steady motion.The rugs are made one by one with precision, bringing the patterns and colors of the sketch to life.

Finishing

For the backing, natural rubber resin is attached to maintain shape and keep the yarn from unraveling; and as the final step, the front fabric is shirred.

Proud

STUDIO THE BLUE BOY proudly presents the high quality made-in-Japan craftsmanship to the world through its extraordinary masterpiece.  We are not merely interested in creating beautiful furniture, but to unveil beauty that already resides in your everyday life—This is our mission as STUDIO THE BLUE BOY.   ーSTUDIO THE BLUE BOYー
