More than Textile

Japanese textile brand Hosoo, established in 1688, traces its history back to the Kyoto silk industry of the 6thcentury. In 2011, the company partnered with OEO Studio with the objective of supplying the international market with superior quality textiles.

Apart from designing a whole new range of distinctive textiles, OEO Studio has reshaped the strategic and creative direction of the Hosoo brand by applying a comprehensive, holistic approach, pushing the boundaries and bringing a fresh perspective and direction to the company with a focus on clear-cut communication, product innovation and creating a design universe with international appeal and commercial potential.

Today, Hosoo provides textiles for fashion brands and interior projects worldwide, e.g. Four Seasons Kyoto, Ritz Carlton Tokyo, Hyatt Regency Kyoto, Mikimoto Hong Kong, Comme des Garcons and Faye Toogood. In 2015, the brand’s textiles were included in the permanent collection at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York.

Ongoing collaboration since 2011
