Product development 3 : Ancient silk
2016.08
Metal leaf paper with a texture reminiscent of fabric. That is “Kodai (ancient) Silk,” developed exclusively by Rekiseisha.
Silk with an intentionally uneven weave is affixed to metal leaf paper and allowed to dry. Alternatively, the unevenly woven silk is applied to the paper first, followed by the application of metal leaf.
With its distinctive presence and elegance, this product is widely used as wallpaper, especially in high-end jewelry stores. Not only does the overall impression change depending on the color of the metal leaf, but it takes on a completely different character when dyed silk is used, which is another unique aspect of this product.
The finest materials are combined using a one-of-a-kind technique to create this special material. Quite literally, a product unlike any other in the world – this is one of Rekiseisha’s most popular products.
