bon. Announces New Collection 'ori.' in Collaboration with Nishimura Orimono, the Oldest Hakata-ori Weaver

Warld Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuki Nojyo) is building a brand that delivers Japanese culture to modern lifestyles through co-creation with artisans and traditional crafts across Japan, under the philosophy of 'Taking Japanese beauty to the world.'

Now, in collaboration with Nishimura Orimono Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chikushino City, Fukuoka Prefecture; CEO: Soichiro Nishimura), the oldest Hakata-ori weaving house founded in 1861 and carrying over 400 years of history, the company announces the new collection 'ori. (Ori).'

'ori.' is an interior art piece that transforms leftover Hakata-ori fabric—produced during the obi-making process at Nishimura Orimono—into small vessels, then combines them with preserved moss that requires no watering. This new upcycled collection re-edits valuable materials from traditional crafts into contemporary spaces, delivering Japanese aesthetic sensibilities to the world.

A New Collection Born from 'bon.'

bon. is an art brand that fuses Japan's natural beauty with craftsmanship. By combining decades-old bonsai with vessels crafted by Japan's leading ceramic and craft artists, the brand delivers one-of-a-kind art pieces—where the time shaped by nature resonates with the skills honed by artisans—to audiences worldwide.

The newly launched 'ori.' collection inherits this philosophy while expanding its expression—from bonsai to moss, from vessels to textiles. It brings the quiet beauty born from the fusion of Japanese nature and craftsmanship into modern spaces as accessible interior objects.

Reimagining Hakata-ori with Over 400 Years of Heritage

Nishimura Orimono, founded in 1861 with origins tracing back to 1587, is the oldest producer of Hakata-ori. For over 400 years, it has preserved weaving techniques, artisanal sensibilities, and the rich textures born from each individual thread. Hakata-ori is not merely a textile—it is a traditional craft that weaves Japanese culture itself into its fabric. In this collaboration, the exquisite Hakata-ori fabric is restructured from obi sashes that adorn kimonos into interior decor that enriches modern living.

Upcycling: A New Form of Cultural Succession

During the production of obi sashes, high-quality fabric is woven but some remains unused for final products.

With 'ori.,' these materials are not seen as 'waste,' but as valuable resources imbued with artisan skill and time. They are crafted into small vessels and fused with preserved moss—a symbol of Japan's natural beauty.

The moss, requiring no watering or maintenance, harmonizes with the delicate patterns of Hakata-ori, creating a tranquil scene reminiscent of a miniature Japanese garden on tabletops and shelves. This is not mere reuse.

It is a new form of succession—connecting the memories of techniques and materials passed down over centuries to contemporary life and future generations.
