[ nodo ] metal tie

design : Kotaro Usugami

nodo
The word “nodo” means a “knot” or “intersection” in Italian. We offer items with a playful touch that combines craftsmanship with maximum inspiration behind the materials used.

The first collection from nodo has been born. We make unique accessories based on Japanese craftsmanship. The making of these bow ties was inspired by the texture created through metal processing. The bow has been cast in aluminum, and its design takes advantage of the characteristics of the material such as its light weight, corrosion resistance, and high plasticity. The neck strap, made of Japanese silk, has been sewn carefully by hand, one at a time. We have paid attention to every detail in creating this product.

＜metal tie silver / polished＞
The silver model has a mirror finish with the brilliance of metal. Craftsmen have carefully polished the bow by following its complex shape. The color of your clothes and your surroundings will be reflected in the bow’s surface. The appeal of this product is its ever-changing brilliance.

＜metal tie black / matte＞
The black model has a matte finish to make the most of the appearance of the cast surface that naturally appears during the process. Sandblasting and anodizing the uneven surface particular to casts creates an unrefined but deep, unique texture.
