The design story
Two chapters, one evolving vision — the creative direction shaping what comes next, and the designers who have interpreted Mongolian cashmere across the years.

Naoki Takizawa

Bringing an international perspective to GOBI's heritage, Naoki Takizawa explores the relationship between natural cashmere and progressive design. His work opens a new dialogue between Mongolian material knowledge, modern technology and contemporary form.
Tradition becomes most powerful when it continues to evolve.
