For centuries, traditional raincoats like this one were crafted in the rainy farmlands of Southern China. Layered from woven palm and coconut fibers, they protected farmers and fishermen from wind and heavy rain — a garment deeply rooted in the rhythm of rural life.

This particular piece dates to around 1900 and shows a rare form: the upper section folds gently forward rather than lying flat. The result is a sculptural, three-dimensional silhouette that feels closed, organic and quietly expressive. As a wall object, it carries a presence that reveals its materials, its purpose and the history it once lived through.

The soft fibres, dark patina and uncommon shape make it one of the most characterful examples of these historic coats. A unique wall piece that brings the beauty of natural materials and craftsmanship into contemporary interiors.

Available for pre order, shipping expected in early to mid-December 2025. The installation, designed as a wall object, was created using AI.
