Paper No. 9’s unique material is inspired by kinkarakawakami, a wallcovering developed by 19th century Japanese artisans to mimic gilded leather and displayed in some of the most opulent rooms of Buckingham Palace.
Free of plastics and complex polymers, our innovative textile is natural, non-toxic, and features a texture and appearance unlike any other fabric on the market.
Originally designed for use in fashion and interior design, the material can be used in a wide array of applications. We have produced custom and exclusive colors, textures, and effects for various clients with products ranging from haute couture apparel to stationary to wearable tech to bags and other accessories.
Paper No. 9 has been featured in publications worldwide (Vogue, WWD, Interview, InStyle, ELLE, WGSN, Drapers, Surface, Pantone, Metropolis, Wallpaper*, Fast Company, and design milk), in showrooms across the globe (Material ConneXion and The Sustainable Angle), and at international textile and fashion shows.
