Creating New Value Through Playfulness and Sensibility. Craftsmanship Born from Human Connections.
“Filament” is a word meaning fiber or thread. Just as multiple lines form a motif, and multiple fibers overlap to create fabric—when people connect, new ideas and values emerge. Filament cherishes such “connections,” creating products that embody playfulness and sensitivity.
The designs breathe with the unique perspective of embroidery artist Tomoko Taka. All things are made of form. Yet, that form reveals entirely different expressions depending on the angle or interpretation. Even the same scenery should appear differently to each person. Tomoko Taka values her own way of seeing and translates her interpretation of form into design. The diverse beauty born from differing perspectives. This lies at the core of filament’s craftsmanship.
Fabric as Art That Blends Into Daily Life. Fusing the warmth of hand embroidery with the precision of machine embroidery.
filament strives to create fabrics that resonate with the wearer’s sensibilities. By blending the warmth of Takako’s hand embroidery with Kazuma’s machine embroidery techniques, we express the lines and overlapping colors drawn by a single thread as if on a canvas. For example, embroidered earrings designed by combining multiple geometric shapes like circles, squares, and hexagons. Using vibrant embroidery threads creates a bold statement piece that anchors any outfit. The unique dimensionality and rich colors of the embroidery add an artistic accent to the ears.
Rich Expression Born from Chance Encounters. A Brand Expanding the Possibilities of Fabric.
Each “filament” product cherishes unexpected combinations, discoveries, and serendipitous creations born from repeated prototyping. We hope the embroidery patterns, colors, and stitch textures add warmth and vibrancy to spaces, gently warming the hearts of those who see them. With playful designs featuring bold colors and geometric patterns, we bring small joys to everyday life.
By Blending Diverse Skills and Sensibilities, We Become a Presence That Lights a Small Flame in People’s Hearts.
Filament was born from the belief that Kazuma, with his expertise in embroidery techniques, and others who share his dedication to thread and fabric could join hands to reach more people with their creations.
An embroidery artist who paints everything with a single thread like paint, and a textile maker who skillfully manipulates white thread with thousands of needles. We hope this filament, composed of energies of different natures, can become a small light that makes someone’s heart flutter a little.
