Profumo
In the Profumo collection, designed by Marta Giardini, vibrant shades in bamboo silk and soft wool join forces to create botanical-inspired subjects through an ancient craftsmanship. The elements from nature – leaves, flowers, pistils and blooms - appear to form gravitational waves, shapes, complex patterns and a sequence of traits reminiscent of a bird’s eye view of grass meadows wafting in the wind. The multiplication of the elements is a complex circuit created with a harmonious weave, an endless interaction of full and empty spaces where style and sophistication belong to a contemporary world.
