Abacá, or Manila hemp, is one of the strongest textile fibres. Extracted from the core of the stalk, the fibres from this plant, which belongs to the banana family and is grown in Ecuador and the Philippines (Musa textilis), are used in haute couture fashion and interior design. It can be dyed to produce rich and refined colours while retaining a slightly transparent quality. Since the fibre is obtained through the ecological process of tuxying, the thread is guaranteed to be 100% plant-based. The know-how involved in processing this fibre offers a product with a multitude of creative possibilities for the production of blinds, Japanese room dividers and wall coverings. | Abacá, one of CMO’s signature materials, is used here in exceptional creations, revealing its natural strength through new techniques, worked either raw or woven. These visual and tactile creations elevate the vibration of the fibre and play on the regularity or irregularity of its weave. They carry all the power of know-how handed down from generation to generation, enhanced in this collection with the vision of an artisan who loves its light.
