Lucinda Newton-Dunn is a British designer specializing in printed textiles and graphic design. After graduating from the Royal College of Art in 1999, Lucinda moved to Tokyo where she lived for seven years and is now based in Los Angeles with her family.

The design is based on the functional aspect of the furoshiki; the idea of wrapping and folding. At first glance it appears as a bold and abstract pattern but when seen as a whole, it becomes apparent that the stripes depict manipulated and tied fabric.

Handmade, using Japanese traditional printing techniques.

★What's Furoshiki? ★
Furoshiki (風呂敷, furoshiki) is a type of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth. It can be used in multiple ways, for bundling or gift-wrapping all sorts of things - from lunch boxes or books, to watermelons and bottles of wine. You could even use it as a bag, a scarf, a baby blanket or even a wall hanging. One beautiful piece of cloth and the list is endless. You decide!
