THE VOID ORIGINAL ITEMは、ニュージーランドの先住民マオリの聖地として受け継がれてきた原生林を、写真家の石川直樹氏が撮影、写真集『T H E V O I D』として発表された作品をCORDURA®素材にプリントしたアイテムです。耐久性のあるCORDURA®は、長く着られ、経年変化を楽しめる素材。製品交換の頻度が減り、自然へのインパクトを間接的に減らします。
Naoki Ishikawa published his first book of photography about the virgin forests in New Zealand that the Maori people have preserved for 1,000ʼs of years and handed down to one another from generation to generation. And Wander selected a few of the images from this stunning book and choose to print the images on clothing made in collaboration with Cordura® fabric. Cordura® is a durable material that can be enjoyed for many years and because of its long wear it indirectly reduces the impact on nature.
