GRASSHOPPER. Jacquard characterized by graphic signs, Grasshopper is inspired by a work by the Chinese artist Zhao Mengjian that has orchids as its subject. The fabric pattern reproduces only the leaves of the plant. The result is a timeless design, with a particular grace and a very calibrated tone-on-tone glossy/matte contrast.
MILLEFLEURS. All-over jacquard with a graceful miniature design. A multitude of small flowers and tiny leaves look like a colourful swarm, barely revealing the background. Thanks to its warp in nylon EVO, Millefleurs is very durable, suitable for heavy use.
ROYAL BOTANICA (Lampas in natural fibres and lurex). It comes from the rich Baroque embroidery in polychrome silk threads of a magnificent textile document from the 18th century, preserved in the archive of the Rubelli Foundation. Flowers, leaves, fruits are embellished with metallic touches.
LEMONGRASS // Matelassé in cotton and linen. Dense and lush vegetation evokes that “simplified” nature typical of naive painting. In Lemongrass, the light/dark contrast evokes a scratched surface, in which the relief effect is particularly marked thanks to the use of the linen weave.
RAMAGE (Jacquard in cotton, viscose and linen). Freely inspired by a textile design from the middle of the 18th century, it presents a rarefied floral motif, with a relief effect, that stands out on a solid background. A kind of rustic embroidery on a large scale, with simplified shapes, an expression of measured elegance. Suitable for medium use.
