Naoto Fukasawa ‘Siwa’ Paper Hat Collection


Innovative textiles are always on the top of my list, especially when they create impressive products like this. “Designer naoto fukasawa has created a series of hats that are made entirely out of traditional japanese washi-paper. the three pieces entitled ‘ivy cap’, ‘hat’, and ‘tyrolean hat’, are constructed from a new type of paper called ‘naoron’ developed by washi-paper manufacturer onao which withstands both moisture and weight, resulting in a lightweight material that does not tear easily.” ( Via DesignBoom )
