Sashiko, a stitching craft used by Japanese peasants to reinforce their clothes with heavy threads and patches was the perfect inspiration for the latest Bolon release—a collaborative effort between the company and Architect/Designer, Patricia Urquiola.

Urquiola said of the collection that “I was inspired by the contrasts of Bolon’s hard-wearing qualities and the softness of woven fabrics.” The flooring evokes this tough yet soft contrast of its fabric inspiration.

The collection consists of four subtle colorways in the neutral and natural vein, making it easy to coordinate into any space wanting a flooring that functions with a soft visual appeal. For more information, contact me.
