Yuri Himuro’s Colourful, Childlike Textile Creations

Yuri Himuro studied in Japan and Finland, then left her first job to go solo as a textile entrepreneur. Since then, she has been constantly imagining new prints, often geometric, colourful and in a deliberately naïve style.

Cut out the fabric yourself

‘My design brings joy, surprise, and has to create an interaction between textiles and humans’, she explains on her website. Her ‘Snip Snap’ collection, for example, offers consumers the opportunity to cut out the fabric components of their purchase themselves, across different locations determined by the artist, revealing a new hidden pattern with each scissor stroke.

These creative efforts have paid off: in 2018, Yuri Himuro was awarded the Young Japanese Talent Award at the ELLE DECO International Design Awards.
