Exhibition: MAKING NUNO Japanese Textile Innovation from Sudō Reiko

This exhibition showcases the innovative work of Japanese textile designer Sudō Reiko, who is renowned for pushing boundaries of textile production and championing new methods of sustainable manufacturing.

Sudō has been the design director of leading textile design firm Nuno for over 30 years and is a member of the Japan Design Committee. Her fabric designs combine Japanese craft traditions with new engineering techniques and unusual combinations of diverse materials such as silk, hand-made washi (Japanese paper), nylon tape and thermoplastic.

Originally designed by artistic director Saitō Seiichi of Panoramatiks (formerly Rhizomatiks Architecture), MAKING NUNO Japanese Textile Innovation from Sudō Reiko includes large-scale installations highlighting the manufacturing processes used in Sudō’s work.
