コーラル & タスクのアイテムを通じて、小さな喜びやインスピレーションを日々の生活の中に取り入れてもらえるような、末永く愛されるデザインをつくることを心がけています

コーラル & タスクのストーリー

コーラル & タスクのデザインはストーリー、イラストレーション、そして機械刺繍が織りなす、コーラル & タスクならではのプロセスから生まれます。ひとつひとつのデザインは、ステファニーによるオリジナルのスケッチから始まり、彼女の手作業が反映された独自のプロセスを経て、最終的にリネンへと機械刺繍されます。

Our Founder

アメリカ オハイオ州で生まれ育ち、美術大学RISD卒業後は、ニューヨークでインテリアテのキスタイルデザイナーとして15年間活躍。その後、豊富なデザイン経験と持ち前の機知に富んだ才能を活かし、ブルックリンのアパートにある 1 台のミシンを使い、コーラル&タスクを立ち上げます。夫であるクリスの創業時の協力を経て、ステファニーのデザインにかける情熱を活かし、コーラル&タスクを多くの人に愛されるブランドへと成長させました。

創業当初からステファニーがイラストを描き、それをもとに機械刺繍する方法は変わらず、コーラル & タスクの今と昔をつなぐ大切な糸となっています。2016年、ステファニーとクリスはワイオミング州に移住。愛犬パピとペニーと共に自然あふれるワイオミングで暮らしています。

The stories I tell with thread are my way of paying homage to the vibrant natural world, and the child I was when I discovered it.
— Stephanie

Every collection begins with a world of inspiration and curiosity.

Start with A Story 01

Stephanie first creates her irreverent characters and bold pattern designs by putting pencil to paper. Every collection begins with abundant research and each individual design stems from her original hand-drawn illustrations.

Drawing To Digital 02

Stephanie then scans her original drawing, creating a digital file. She redraws the design, stitch by stitch, using specialized software.

Connecting Threads 03

Once her designs are digitized, Stephanie connects with our partners in India to begin production. Together they work to perfect each design, finalizing layouts and colors. Our partners in India implement ethical working conditions and provide fair wages.

Bring it to Life 04

Once the design is perfected, it is machine embroidered in India by our embroidery partner of over ten years. The large scale embroidery machines make it possible for us to scale Stephanie’s creative process with the flexibility of small production runs.

From Fiber to Cloth 05

Nearly all of our products are embroidered on 100% unbleached and undyed linen, avoiding the pollutants found in standard textile dying practices and reducing water consumption. Our linen begins as a flax plant in Lithuania and is then wet spun into yarn at an ISO 9001 company in West Bengal, India, before arriving in Bangalore, India for weaving. All of our linen fiber is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified, confirming that it does not contain any harmful substances or chemicals.

Stitch It Up 06

Sewing is the final step of our production process. Every Coral & Tusk embroidery is transformed into the final product by our long-time tailors who expertly hem and stitch every piece for you to enjoy in your home.
