Woven in Japan with gold metallic thread, this silk Obi has been up-cycled into a table runner for your home. Laid the length of a dining table or along a sideboard, where the light catches the brocade differently by the hour.

At 265cm/104in, it's sized for 8-seat dining tables, giving a full, elegant drop at each end.

The tortoise shell (Kikkō) on this Obi is centuries-old motif in Japanese design - longevity.

As each Obi is uniquely patterned, no two runners are ever quite the same. This exact piece won't be repeated.
