The Shiranami — Japanese Ceremonial Silk Bed Runner Set, White Waves in Gold and Silver on Champagne - Linens & Bedding
Price $1,566
A wave, woven, never breaks. It stays at the moment before. Shiranami — white-crested waves — run the length of this cloth as concentric arcs of tightly packed gold and silver float threads, the crests curling back on themselves, with small coral-red forms set into the foam. On a champagne ground the metallic lines behave like water: flat light reads them as pattern, side light reads them as movement. Nothing else on the cloth moves. Renaras designs and reimagines existing Japanese ceremonial silk into contemporary pieces for daily life — this is our mottainai: the bringing of new imagination into a living tradition. Woven once for ceremony, the obi was cut at our Amsterdam atelier into a runner for the foot of the bed, 238 cm of it, falling over both sides of a 180 or 200 cm mattress, with three cushions for the head: one carrying the waves, two in plain champagne silk, still water at the head. Each cushion closes with an envelope pocket, the runner is backed in plain silk, and no metal touches the silk anywhere. The set arrives with the Renaras Passport, a small handmade record of the silk's first life and its transformation, signed and dated in Amsterdam.
