East meets West with Scion Japandi. This beautiful new collection of curtain fabrics and wallpapers from Scion taking its style and history from Japan and blending it with a simplistic Scandinavian twist, making it a perfect collection for homemakers, mixing traditional with a modern edge.
Comprising of 27 fabrics for use with our in-house curtains & roman blind manufacturing we have, and 32 wallpapers with many of them coordinating with each other.
Akira design curtain fabrics
The inspiration for the Akira design (Akira meaning ‘sunlight from the moon’) has been taken from the print of an archive kimono, depicting elegant floral trails with a gorgeous brushed edge that adds a feel of the ‘imperfectly perfect’ to this striking print. (Kimono now has come to mean traditional clothing and first emerged in the Heian period in Japan, which lasted from 794 to 1192).
This design is perfect for making into curtains or roman blinds, where you can see the stunning effect it creates when made into curtains in the below photography.
Dragonfly design fabrics & wallpapers
The Dragonfly design which is beautifully elegant providing a dramatic statement design of a painterly dragonfly with a simple sketched body and fragile wings. The dragonfly is symbolic around the world with the mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life.
Perfect for changing the look and style of your room, as this fabric also has a matching/coordinating wallpaper.
Usuko design curtain fabrics
Then we also have the Usuko design with its traditional Japanese name and ikat design, just perfect for making a statement. What’s not to love about this fabric?
Aikyo design fabrics and wallpapers
The Aikyo (meaning forest) design combines the Scandi geometric elements and style with a hand-crafted Japanese look by adding texture and colour to any room. This fabric also has matching/coordinating wallpaper.
Uteki design fabrics and wallpapers
The chunky texture and four different colour options of the Uteki design make it a true ikat design with softer muted colours making it one of my favourites. It also has matching/coordinating wallpapers, meaning that you could mix and match the colours of the walls with curtains to create an individual look.
Shinku design fabrics and wallpapers
We love the timeless look of the Shinku design, (Shinku is of Japanese origin and means “Pure Ruby”). It’s a beautifully embroidered geometric design, available in 5 lovely colours that you could never tire of. This design also has matching/coordinating wallpapers to add to your room.
Kazue design curtain fabrics
Kazue (meaning “harmony, peace”) is a jacquard design which has such a lovely sheen and drape. This striking fabric is available in three lovely colourways: Ink, Pewter and Spice.
What Scion’s designer says
Scion’s designer at Style Library, Hannah Bowen says, “The collection celebrates the Japanese concept of appreciating beauty in the imperfect; accentuated brush marks, ikats and chunky embroideries play up to this sentiment, while the pared back, geometric elements of the collection are synonymous with the Scandi look that Scion is famed for.”
