CFCL, known for its unique knitting techniques to create unique fashion items, and Emmanuelle’s “100 colors” collaborated to bring CFCL's signature item, the “POTTERY SKIRT” to the event in 100 different color variations.

Pop-up events were held in Tokyo from July to August 2024, and in Seoul, Korea in November. On display are 100 Pottery Skirts made from 100 colors selected by Emmanuelle. The 100 colors were carefully selected by Emmanuelle from a wide range of colors of Teijin Frontier's recycled polyester yarn ECOPET®, a fiber professional, and knitted one by one on the WHOLEGARMENT machine at CFCL Knitting Lab. A hanger rack was also designed to display the 100 garments in the space in a single line.

In the space, an installation of 100 colored cones with yarn, the material used to make the skirts, wrapped around them. 100 colored skirts and 100 colored installations overlap, creating a large wave of gradations. The space is designed in such a way that one can find one's favorite piece while being surrounded by many colors.

A T-shirt designed by Emmanuelle has been released as part of the new collection of UNIQLO's charity T-shirt project "PEACE FOR ALL." Please take a look at UNIQLO stores and online store.

Message from Emmanuelle:
"When I Saw the Earth for the First Time" - I imagined a picture book with a title like this. The colorful sphere represents the earth, the yellow sphere represents the sun, and the child holding the balloon is you, the main character. The diversity of living creatures that exist on this earth creates and drives the beauty of the earth. I expressed that through the universality and infinity of color. I hope that colors will move people's hearts.

About the PEACE FOR ALL project:

for Tokyo Nishikawa

In collaboration with the leading bedding manufacturer of Japan – Tokyo Nishikawa, which celebrated its 450 anniversary this year, Emmanuelle developed a new colorful bedding brand "yurariro".

Under the joint development with the famous production area of towel products in Japan - Imabari, Emmanuelle designed six types of next-generation summer blankets, focusing on colors and comfort (Summer blankets (resemble a large towel) are popular items in Japan, simply because they are light weight and washable.).
Along with the design quality, some concerns from users such as "difficult to dry after wash" and "piles falling out", were solved one by one by through knowledge and skills of artisans, improving the overall performance. 
In addition to summer blankets, 4 variations of light "futon"(bedding) were also designed and manufactured in Japan.

With the concept "Touch colors in peace, see colors in joy. Wrapped in dancing colors, sleep comfortably in a colorful dream.", the new brand wishes to provide a comfortable and colorful sleep for spring and summer.

A cheerful, colourful world. The LINE MOUREAUX Limited Edition takes the play of colours into a new, exciting dimension. Whereas the classic version of this wardrobe element always has a one-colour paint finish, Emmanuelle has painted the rods in different colours. The fold-out coat rail is powder-coated in white.
Together, the multicoloured rods form a set of 5 that can claim to be a pure art installation, which catches the eye and will be a centre of attention in the entrance area despite its wall mounted position. It reflects the approach of this French designer, which is to use colour to shape space. Once again, LINE reveals its remarkable versatility.

Imagined as thin layers of coloured sheets scattered in the air, then settling randomly on top of each other, creating overhangs and recessions, the "Mille-Feuille" storage series, designed by Emmanuelle, and created by German furniture manufacturer Schonbuch was revealed at the Wallpaper* Handmade Exhibition in Milan. Employing her signature use of colour, Emmanuelle draws inspiration from similar but larger-scale previous explorations, such as her Sugamo Shinkin Bank (Shimura Branch) project.
The colourful storage pieces are handmade out of layers of lacquered MDF and come in three sizes, 21 layers for a multicolor cabinet, 12 layers for a green-blue low cabinet and 8 layers for a yellow-pink bedside cabinet, all containing "hidden" drawers.
The function of the "Mille-Feuille" may change according to the numbers of layers and the concept can be developed for other functions as a low table or a shelf.

concept : The View from Scaffolding

"When I first visited Tokyo,
I was shocked by the city brimming with colors.
Bright colors overlapping and intermingling with each other,
buildings with different volumes,
layers of electric cables forming the cutout sky…
To my eyes that grew up in a town made of stone,
they appeared beautifully like a painting."

"Tenukore" is a project to ensure the future enjoyment of tenugui (thin cotton washcloths), through a variety of beautifully designed tenugui by several creators.

In collaboration with stationary maker, Maruman, "The View from Scaffolding" launched in Tenukore 2010, has been selected to be part of their new collection, which is now available as a loose-leaf binder and spiral bound notebook.
