What better way to spend your free time than to devote it to your hobbies? Cultivating calmness with kitchen gardening and seeing the fruits of constant care can really improve our mood. Day after day, little leaves open up, covering the underlying soil like the nourishing green covering the dark background on Erica Industria Tessile’s printed fabric. An interactive way of seeing and observing nature, just like the striking colours of an organic plant picked from Arpex Textiles ribbons. Fertile soil lends its softness and suppleness to a fabric by Infinity - Codice - JJ Moon. New seeds germinate in a pot, delicate shoots grow out of the reddish humus. These colours inspire the tartan by Furpile Idea while E.Thomas’s Prince of Wales seems set out in little squares like so many seedling trays. Winter can also be hard on older plants, which are brought into a greenhouse by Quaregna - La Tela di Penelope. This is where the magic happens. Roots grow quickly, clinging to and feeding on the soil, tangled branches printed on satin by Europrint. The glass panes in the old greenhouse inspire Alibi’s special fabric, dampness has worn down the tools after years of work but they are still strong. As time passes, the weaker branches become rough woody bulbs as compact as the twill by Tessitura Mauri while winter bushes are as green as a Angelo Vasino fabric.
