About Azuma Fabric :

Azuma Fabric was founded by textile designer Kazuko Azuma, whose extensive background in commercial styling, display, store interior design, and furniture production informs her approach to fabric creation.

The brand specialises in original interior textiles that combine traditional Japanese craftsmanship and weaving techniques with modern sensibilities, offering a unique blend of handmade warmth and everyday functionality.

Their creations include upholstery fabrics, curtains, and lifestyle goods such as bags, aprons, cushion covers, and free clothes.

Originally established as the Kazuko Azuma Design Office in 1992, the studio evolved through projects including the vintage furniture and goods store ULTRA (1999–2006). In 2016, it was rebranded as Azuma Fabric, continuing to expand its creative expressions in textile design.
