MUSUBI Exhibit MAISON&OBJET 2018
“FUROSHIKI - Eco&Friendly Style”

Yamada Sen-I announced that it will participate for the first time in “MAISON&OBJET”, one of the largest trade fairs for interior lifestyle (decoration, design, furniture, accessories, textiles, tableware, etc.... ) to be held in Paris, France in January 2018.

Many buyers are visiting to MAISON&OBJET, which looks like Paris collection of interior design from all over the world. We will present traditional and modern Japanese furoshiki at this exhibition. We will introduce furoshiki, a representative custom of Japan, as a square cloth that creates an enjoyable, comfortable, and eco-friendly item in people's lives.
A single piece of fabric for wrapping has been used by many countries for a long time. However, due to economic development and innovation, people don't use fabric for wrapping any more. We will present “How to Enrich Life” through a piece of fabric, furoshiki, for the next generation around the world.

We promote approximately 60 items representative of the MUSUBI brand: Isa-monyo, Chou-musubi, COCHAE, Denim, and katakata. We have a wide variety of sizes and fabrics including water-repellent, reversible, and linen with embroidery.

We will release a promotional video: “One day with your Furoshiki”.
The story focuses on how to use furoshiki in your life through a global point of view.

We announced 10 videos on “How to Use Furoshiki” that you can access with a QR code or other SNS.
