MY DIARY AT FLORENCE

The work reflects the journey of the young Chinese artist searching for her true self at the most prestigious art school, Academia di Belle Arti di Firenze, where she’s absorbed the energy coming from the collision of Chinese and western culture, and turned it into these stunning pieces of art. By printing those amazing patterns on woolen materials, the most faithful reproduction of the traditional Chinese rice paper, the calligraphy delivers the power of writing and the charm of art.

Jungle

Jungle is a mix of various elements that make sense as a whole. SOLO Jungle is a fusion of watercolor paintings on canvas and digital sketches depicted on reused fabrics.

High performance structures can be unfolded into a myriad of different shapes due to their structural flexibility, allowing two identical products to be installed in completely unique manners, re-used in different shapes and sizes.

Janus Fabric

Janus Fabric is a new conceptual material, whose surface can work as a heating or lighting system. The combination of the material diversity and incorporated functional system creates multi-dimensional designs, which are both functional and aesthetic.

To add a function to a product, additional components and complex production systems are usually required. Since Janus itself can perform the function, this can help to solve these problems and allows to focus on the design.

Architextiles

Architextiles is a series of sound absorbing textiles with a woven 3D structure. Designed by renowned textile designer Aleksandra Gaca and manufactured by Casalis, the Architextiles collection was developed through an innovative combination of both craft and high tech elements, in a seamless process to create the panels. The textile panels, produced using sustainable materials, deliver two core features: decoration and noise reduction; the 3D texture of the woven fabric enables the panels to absorb sound waves more efficiently than flat textiles.
