Description
Kesi（KOSSU), also known as ‘silk tapestry with cut designs’, stands proudly as a revered World Intangible Cultural Heritage. With its origins tracing back over 2000 years ago, Kesi made its way into China from the West Asia through the legendary Silk Road. It now stands as the sole weaving technique globally that eludes mechanized replication. Characterized by continuous-warp, discontinuous-wefts; double-sided weaving, and creation-from-nothingness, the craft of Kesi has been a beacon of handcraft tradition. Commencing from the year 2010, KOSSU embarked on a journey of bold innovation, seamlessly blending contemporary craftsmanship with the ancient legacy. Crafted exclusively by Suzhou's master artisans, the intricate workmanship of Kesi involves more than 16 weaving processes. Fervently pursued innovation in both materials and technology, KOSSU made significant advancements, boasting features like waterproofing, oil resistance, anti-bacterial properties, durability, and UV resistance. Our team struck a harmonious balance between artistic exploration, material innovation, functional development, and the delicate finesse of manual craftsmanship.
