The secret language of rope-knots
The secret language of rope-knots
Shibari is not simply the technique of tying objects with ropes, but a method of communication within hidden systems of lines and loops. In Japanese it’s called Kinbaku: the beauty of tight binding. This sophisticated collection places crystal centerpieces amidst the knots to draw our attention and create variable compositions. Thanks to BOMMA’s daring design, Shibari may be considered a work of art, whether as a stand-alone piece or in a grouping that resembles a sculpture.
