Let us surrender to a sweet sleep that, for some, resembles a long hibernation, while for others it is a brief doze. Two soft, white Arctic foxes – like the Forza Giovane Art plush – curl up in winter sleep among the rocks, while the warm, checkered Pontetorto fabric evokes the enchantment of a barn owl gracefully resting under the shelter of a tree. A little squirrel peeks out from its tiny burrow, breaking up the bark-like texture reminiscent of the warm Mapel / Stelloni wool. The twill by Manifattura di Carmignano takes on the warm hue of a red panda stretched out across logs beside its den. Two owls, tenderly nestled together, seem to embody the enveloping softness of the wool and cashmere by Lanificio Moessmer. The alpaca fur by Steiff Schulte Webmanufaktur is tinged with the tawny grey of a fox peacefully dreaming in her shelter. A polar bear, resting among the snowdrifts, blends almost completely into the landscape, evoking the softness of Thindown – Nipi Italia padding. On the wool by Manifattura Del Prato, beige and green intertwine to outline the cosy shape of a den where a cheerful otter lies in repose, while a quirky, yellow-furred creature – resembling Piacenza 1733 – Piacenza Group mohair – silently retreats to its underground hideaway. Finally, the soft Furpile Idea teddy reminds us of the winter torpor of a magnificent bear resting peacefully, inviting us to savour a moment of relaxation.
