Celebrate the bond between body and environment. Inspired by the Japanese Buddhist principle of Esho Funi, explore Merino wool as a symbol of the connection between an individual’s subjective life and their surrounding environment. Craft garments and interiors from Merino wool and wool blends that reflect and influence our movement through life, both in what is worn and the spaces we inhabit, drawing on wool’s innate qualities: comfort, sound absorption, temperature regulation and versatility across design categories.
Embodiment traces the mutual relationship between what we wear and the homes we live in, and how each moulds our inner landscape. Design garments and interiors that give form to an abstract experience, where the boundary between inner self and outside environment dissolves. Speak to a way of living defined by intentional simplicity, rooted in the belief that self and environment are inseparable, balanced with mindful modernity expressed in daily rituals, whether it’s yoga by sunrise, gardening by day or introspective calm by night. In a visual identity that flows between person and environment, Embodiment explores two interconnected ideas – SPACE and FORM – where what we wear and the places we reside become a continuous loop to express the innermost self.

Integrate Merino wool into the places we inhabit. Not only decorative – but transformative – explore Merino wool and wool blends as the foundation for curtains with natural drape, carpets that cushion each step, and wall panelling that cocoons a room in contemplative quiet. In a material palette that deepens the sense of sanctuary, discover needle-felted and woven Merino wool and wool blends for wall panels, rugs and upholstery, harnessing the wool fibre’s natural softness and its capacity to absorb and bind airborne pollutants. Covers, pillows and blankets complete an ecosystem devoted to comfort.

FFORM
Whether worn as base-layers that sit against the skin or as softly draped knitwear framing the silhouette, Merino wool shapes how the body moves and rests. Fluid jerseys, gentle wraps, relaxed layers, softly structured knitwear and a selection of Merino wool-rich shirting fabrics create comforting pieces that accompany the quieter rhythms of daily life. Merino wool jerseys, interlocks and brushed blends with plant-based fibres such as silk or cotton tap into the natural comfort, softness and breathability of the wool fibre. In a meditative, elemental palette of soft moss, earthen clay, bone white, bark, dew and sky, explore fabrics that return the inner self to a state of balance and connection.
