The flowers were finished first.

Over them run straight bars in vermilion, mauve and gold, slightly ribbed, matte where the flowers are metallic. The two layers never negotiate: the bars pass over the petals as though the chrysanthemums were already there when the second design arrived. In side light the silver comes forward and the bars recede; in flat light it reverses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenaras designs and reimagines existing Japanese ceremonial silk into contemporary pieces for daily life — this is our mottainai: the bringing of new imagination into a living tradition. Woven once for ceremony, the obi was cut at our Amsterdam atelier into a runner for the foot of the bed, 239 cm of it, falling over both sides of a 180 or 200 cm mattress, with three cushions for the head: one carrying flowers and bars, two in plain champagne silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cushion closes with an envelope pocket, the runner is backed in plain champagne silk, and no metal touches the silk anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set arrives with the Renaras Passport, a small handmade record of the silk's first life and its transformation, signed and dated in Amsterdam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBed runner set\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSilk source\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapanese ceremonial silk, obi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMotif\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRangiku, wild chrysanthemum with bar overlay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaupe with silver, vermilion, mauve and gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeave \/ technique\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupplementary-weft brocade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRunner backed in plain silk; cushion covers with envelope closure; no metal touches the silk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRunner 239 × 31 cm; Patterned cushion 36 × 29 cm; Plain cushions two, 36 × 30 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOrigin of silk\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAssembled in\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmsterdam, Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCare\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpot clean only; keep out of direct sunlight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUnrepeatable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eREN-BED-008\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne silk.
