Muut tiedot

The Tatami carpet was custom-designed for
the hotel suites at the K5 Tokyo in a
‘Tatami concept’, where larger carpets consist of single units sewn together.
A Tatami is a type of mat used as flooring material in traditional Japanese rooms.
Made of a semi-hard core, covered by woven straw. Standardised at 90 x 180 cm its
numbers would act as a measurement of the size of the room. While principally steering away from direct Japanese archetypes
for their K5 Tokyo project, Claesson Koivisto Rune made an exception with this carpet, woven in Sweden, with traditional Swedish methods and materials, then ‘repatriated’ to Japan.
