At times we lose objects, yet we rarely pause to imagine the place and the manner in which they are rediscovered. A book wedged between branches with autumn leaves – yellow and luminous like IME Fabrics’ jersey – seems to have alighted there with the lightness of a little bird. Orsini’s printed lace takes on the same shades as a flower forgotten and then found again, affixed by chance to a wall like a fragment of memory. A pair of shoes abandoned on a tennis court, green as Pratofabrics by Pratofinish’s velvet, tells of a silent absence, while Jóźwiak’s beige and blue tartan evokes the mystery of two bicycles recovered along a river, its waters muddied by rain and silt. On a carpet of dry leaves, a pink backpack lies waiting, forgotten: its hues are reflected in the warm Prince of Wales check by M.T.T. Manifattura Tessile Toscana. Elsewhere, Joshua Ellis’ wool is woven into a strict tweed that seems to echo the unusual outline of a shopping trolley left behind on an urban lawn. In the heart of a forest, a pair of spectacles remain hanging from a tree with bark as strong and brown as Nesatex’s cotton blend, while Metal P’s accessories are arranged as if to reconstruct the unexpected shape of an old television abandoned on a beach. On earthy ground, a hubcap glimmers in silver, reflecting the sheen of Fimma’s stainless-steel snap fasteners. A little further on, Textil Santanderina’s organic cotton blended with TencelTM Lyocell absorbs the mélange shades of the floor on which lies a vintage suitcase, emptied of its history, containing only two books that seem to open of their own accord, ready to intrigue anyone who brushes against them.
