For Interior Designers

Renaras works with interior designers, architects, and curators on placements that begin with a room and end with a single object. We reimagine Japanese ceremonial silk, obi, kimono, fukusa, and scrolls, into wall tapestries, table runners, lumbar pillows, and figurative pieces, each finished by hand in the Amsterdam atelier, each one of a kind.

We do not supply trade catalogues. Every placement is a conversation between the atelier and the designer, calibrated to a specific room, a specific client, a specific brief.

How we work with the trade

• Trade pricing. Applied on a project basis to designers and studios working at scale, and confirmed when a project is initiated. We do not publish standing discount percentages, because scope, timeline, and piece count vary with every project.
• Sample requests. For designers presenting silk specifications to clients, fabric and motif samples can be requested for active project briefs, accommodated where feasible.
• Reserved textiles. Pieces can be held under reserve for up to sixty days through the design and client-approval phase, so a designer can present without the risk of a piece selling mid-conversation.
• Custom commissions. Where a project calls for a particular silk, scale, motif, or palette, the atelier accepts commission work. Lead time is typically eight to fourteen weeks, depending on scope and the silk being sourced.
• Lead times. In-stock pieces ship within five working days from Amsterdam. Commissions and curated multi-piece selections are quoted with project-specific timelines.
• End-client confidentiality. The designer-client relationship is preserved. We do not contact your end client directly without your authorisation, and the passport for each piece can be presented to your studio or to the client, as you prefer.
• Private viewings. For active briefs, designers are welcome at the Amsterdam atelier (IJsbaanpad 2) by appointment. We also travel for site consultations across the EU.

What we work with

The Renaras catalogue is the working palette. Designers most often specify across these categories:

• Wall tapestries — Japanese ceremonial silk obi mounted on handmade hardwood bars, supplied with hanging hardware. The most-specified category for residential interiors. Browse Wall Art
• Ceremonial kimono — original uchikake, furisode, and hōmongi, presented as textile art at gallery scale, for the projects where a single textile becomes the room's anchor. Browse Phoenix Reborn
• Lumbar pillows — in two sizes, with envelope-closure construction. Specify singly, in pairs, or as a set across a sofa or banquette. Browse Pillow Covers
• Table runners and placemats — for dining environments where the textile becomes part of the table architecture. Browse Runners · Browse Placemats
• Bed runners and decorative cushion sets — newly arrived, for bedroom and suite schemes.
• Japanese ningyō and washi sculpture — figurative work for considered display: vitrine corners, dressing rooms, the threshold between formal and private spaces. Browse Whispered Stories
• Bespoke commissions — when a project needs a piece beyond the current catalogue.

The passport accompanies every piece

Every Renaras object, whether specified into a residence or commissioned for a single room, arrives with its handmade passport from the atelier: a record of the silk, the transformation it received, and the date it was finished, signed in Amsterdam. For a designer, the passport is the document that explains the piece to the client and stays with it. It can be presented at delivery, included in the project handover, or held by the atelier on the client's behalf, as you prefer.

What residential projects look like

Designers come to Renaras with rooms that have been waiting for something specific. A principal bedroom whose wall reads as unfinished until the silk arrives. A reading corner that needs warmth without weight. An entrance hall whose owner has collected Japanese objects for years and wants the textile equivalent of what they already own. A dining room whose architect wants a single statement textile to anchor an otherwise restrained palette.

The designer brings the room. Renaras brings the silk. The conversation is calibrated to both.
