The COLLAGE TRANSPARENT design was inspired by the book 'In Praise of Shadows' by Junichiro Tanizaki. Its idea refers to the Japanese term 'Komorebi'; the subtle transparencies and light nuances when sunlight filters through the tree leaves. Using the traditional techniques of Nishijin, Hosoo is able to achieve interwoven and twisted patterns.

The COLLAGE collection was designed by Danish design studio OeO and was nominated for the Danish Design Awards 2012.
