Description

Our signature Ume print is inspired by the flowers of the Japanese apricot tree and our love of retro textiles. This playful hand printed napkin set also features a cute Dot Dot design. We like to combine both prints for a contemporary layered table setting and think they look particularly lovely over the collection’s matching tablecloths and striped table mats. They could also be used with existing white linens for a simpler look.

When creating a woodblock print, the design is first traced onto translucent paper, to guide the block maker who then slowly carves it out of wood using a hammer and chisel. The printer then dips the blocks into a pad that holds the different dyes.
One block per colour is then stamped carefully and precisely by hand, to start building up the design, layer by layer.

Hello, I am Noa. During my career as a designer, I have travelled to India extensively and worked with iconic brands such as Anokhi, who introduced me to the wonders of block printing. I started ai.no.ah to celebrate craftsmanship, collaborating with artisans to create collections inspired by traditional crafts paired with contemporary sensibility. The focus behind the brand is on small-scale ethical production, creating sustainable, unique and beautiful styles.
