We are Tokoro, Inc. furnishing the fabrics which are usually given by the client.

Almost every imaginable design has featured in fabric designs — animals, objects and people. Everyday objects are all frequently used designs. Florals have been the most common and best selling printed and jacquard woven fabrics in apparel and interior textiles.

Natural fabrics
The fabrics are made from natural and organically grown materials such as silk, hemp and organic cotton, and are free of synthetic chemicals and dyes. Plant and vegetable dyes create variation in the color of the fabrics, giving it a richness, Tokoro, Inc. professional staff  said.

The company uses the fabric in high-end bedding and towels and also makes fabrics for use in window treatments and upholstery.”They’re gorgeous”.

Colour
Fabric is usually chosen foremost for its colour because fabric is a merged of fibres and threads; its colour never appears flat. The choice of colour is personal. The safest colours are considered to be white and beige. Quality of fabrication, upholstery tailoring and architectural integrity is the hallmark of any fabric. Colour is indomitable by light. Every fabric colour must be considered under light conditions as similar as possible to those of the environment in which the fabric ultimately will be installed. Today consumer and end users have sophisticated tastes and are aware of many artistic alternatives.

Seating
A homeowner usually focuses more attention on sofa selection than drapery; it becomes a statement spot for most interiors. Upper end manufacturers design their furniture to accept any fabric. As long as fabric can be stapled to a frame and not damaged in handling, manufacturers will use it.

Comfort
An upholstery fabric’s air and moisture porosity influence comfort. Natural fibres are more porous than synthetic fibres. The composition of cushion stuffing and the tautness of the upholstery on the frame affect dankness or dryness of furniture. Completely moisture repulsive fabrics are uncomfortable because surface absorbs no moisture from the occupant’s skin and allows no air to pass through.

Harmony
Most people work in offices that are not too visually stimulating. Medium values, greyed hues and harmonious combinations are pleasing office decorations. Small scale patterns and textures cover wear and soiling and are popular for non-residential use and areas in homes that are heavily used, like children’s and family rooms.

Conference rooms or lobbies can be dramatic as people do not spend a lot of time there. For same reason, lively pattern is interesting in residential entrance halls and powder rooms.

Fabrics are labelled according to how they are produced and according to their pattern. Geometric shape is the most common type of design after florals. A geometric may be coordinated with a floral. A line may go with a plaid or check or one pattern may be rendered in two techniques.

Chinoiserie refers to any western interpretation of oriental design. Abstracts are softened geometrics and formless all over patterns. Contemporary is a term to classify designs with a simple extremely stylized motifs. Transitional designs are almost contemporary, but the stylised motifs are not as starkly simple and may be recognised naturalistic.

Trompe L’oeil literally means ‘fool the eye’. These patterns are so designated to create such an effect, where giving an illusion of tactile qualities is emphasised, often used to depict absent architectural features.
