MELANGE NAP (CATEGORY B)
AKIRA MINAGAWA
Melange Nap is a woollen upholstery textile characterised by exceptional depth of colour and
surprising details. Designed by Akira Minagawa, it offers a distinctively unique melange expression.
Extremely soft yet durable, Melange Nap appears to be brushed. It is constructed with a
unicoloured and a melange yarn, which creates a graphic pattern of tiny dots that play across its
surface.
The volume of details that emerges from the surface of Melange Nap depends on the contrast
between the yarns. Some of the darker colourways almost appear unicoloured whereas others have
an intriguing multi-coloured look.
Akira Minagawa: ‘Melange Nap transforms an interior into ‘scenery’ within its space. The colour
compositions are inspired by six elements from the natural world: Forest, Sun, Ocean, Minerals,
Earth, and Dune. Each expression of the textile harmonises with its surroundings in an individual
way, while creating a sense of the peace that comes from nature.’
Suitable for public and private spaces, Melange Nap comes in a number of colours derived from
upholstery textile Forest Nap, also designed by Akira Minagawa. Consequently, they combine
particularly well.
