Today we begin with the description of each of twelve unique I-I pieces presented recently to the press. Here is the description in our own words.
The idea was to create a crossing, a transversal, an original and an independent project, which is the “fil rouge” of all I-I unique pieces. Breaking all “materiology” rules- . In this case we took a classic object, such as the fabric vase, we made it using a technical material and worked it using the same procedure for tailoring. Not simple, isn’t it?.
The result is a fabric vase thermo-taped, that we call Flower Parka. The vase is in a woven fabric coupled with a membrane created with a typical tailoring pattern. Then the fabric is thermo-taped with a technique usually used for technical apparel and for water sports accessories (io farei un’esempio di accessory e apparel…). As a result, paper pattern and thermo-tape give a different an unique shape and a structure to each vase.

We like to think of our fabric vase our t-shirt item of the complementing furnishing design: a simple and familiar object that through its cuts, fabric, and graphic arts (for now simple graphics, but there will be soon some novelty ones), transmits tactile feelings and tells stories like the t-shirt of a skater and its board. Same as apparel, the vase will be available in Small and Medium size.

This creation appealed immediately to MoMA of New York and the Vase was picked for the next exhibitions. Great start!
