WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto Repurposes Archival Fabric in Limited-Edition Patchwork Cushions
Using a selection of eight unique fabrics from previous collections, the Japanese label created 20 one-of-one cushions.
Summary
- On Saturday, June 7, WILDSIDE Yohi Yamamoto Harajuku will sell a limited edition cushion made from the label’s archival fabrics.
Yohji Yamamoto‘s WILDSIDE label pushes the Japanese designer’s signature deconstructed, vintage design aesthetic into new territory with its latest limited-edition release, which uses its archival fabrics. However, instead of offering an apparel capsule, WILDSIDE is applying the repurposed materials to a range of one-of-one patchwork throw pillows.
Each cushion features eight fabrics in a textured quilt of rectangular patches. Elegant textiles, including a woolen green and blue tartan and an ornate floral jacquard, are contrasted with military-inspired materials like camouflage sherpa and solid green fabrics with stenciled typography. WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto wordmarks are scattered throughout the design, following the stencil motif on the front and back sides.
While Yohji Yamamoto has released various throw blankets before, often through his Y’s for Living line, the newest release expands on recent craft-oriented forays into homeware from his label. In 2022, WILDSIDE unveiled another limited-edition design project with EYEFUNNY, releasing a charcoal-toned stool adorned with floral designs. Later, in 2023, the label collaborated with Miyoshi Rug to transform its red flower motif into a tufted area rug. Like previous design projects, the cushions are made in an extremely limited run, stenciled by hand from 01 to 20, and come with a unique serial number.
The WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto Limited Edition Patchwork Cushion will be offered at 24,200 yen ($170 USD) exclusively at WILDSIDE’s Harajuku boutique.
