SINUOUS is a capsule collection of 4 fabrics created by Dutch textile designer Mae Engelgeer during her residence at Hosoo, where she was developing this collection in close collaboration with the craftsmen. For this collection, Mae Engelgeer was searching for a new and more organic way of translating her signature coloring and graphics style into a collection that reinterpreted the craft and heritage found in the archives of Hosoo. Sinuous Dashing is a blow-up of the hand-drawn pattern, which refers to bold strokes seen on walls. It has a strong contemporary and layered atmosphere created by using a variety of metallic yarns, which reflect light in a remarkable way.

Family-owned since 1688, Hosoo has carried on the renowned textile traditions of Nishijin in Kyoto for more than twelve generations. The history of the textile company could even be traced back to the birth of the textile district in Nishijin, Kyoto formed by master-weavers and tailors in the 9th century.

Originally appointed kimono tailors and obi belt weavers of the Imperial Family of Japan in the 17th century, Hosoo’s long lineage of weavers have since expanded their workshop to create traditionally-woven, hand-spun silk-based textiles for international talents, interior designers and fashion houses around the world.

Under the visionary leadership of the Hosoo family, the textile mill has preserved the time-honored techniques and weaving methods of Nishijin, while integrating them with improved looming technologies to meet the demands of an international clientele.
