Chris Stone’s bold and beautiful floral designs, unseen by the public for over 50 years, are brought back to life through the timeless tradition of furoshiki. His work, inspired by his time as head designer at Sheridan linen in the 1980s, infuses vibrant colours and dynamic patterns into these wrapping cloths, offering a perfect blend of artistry and elegance.
In Japanese culture, furoshiki is more than just a way to wrap a gift; it’s a thoughtful, sustainable practice that emphasizes care and intention. Each cloth becomes a lasting part of the gift, symbolizing creativity and respect.
With colours like red for life and protection, orange for courage and happiness, blue for calmness and honesty, and yellow for warmth and prosperity, Chris Stone’s designs add deep symbolic meaning to each furoshiki. More than just a wrapping, these cloths can be reused as scarves or treasured keepsakes, making them a gift that continues to give.
Each wrap is dispatched within 1 week of order confirmation and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Australian Museum of Design.
