Design 21 had a call to design a furoshiki, a traditional Japanese cloth used to wrap everything from groceries to gifts. What was once just artful is now eco-friendly, and the 3 x 3-foot cloth will be used to commemorate the upcoming environment summit in Kobe, Japan. Typography becomes the pattern in this contemporary version I made using the 3 R’s. When the cloth is folded around various objects, the ginormous letters are cropped to form bold and modern new shapes!
