Sunflower, tobacco, charcoal: an elegant satin weave in pure virgin wool embraces the intense hues of nature. Different colour pigments come together to create the perfect formula. Once prepared, the mixture dissolves in a whirlpool of water, the pigments mingle and become a new shade. Step by step, the colour is transferred to fabric where it takes on a new life and a new luminosity. Hence, human knowhow encounters mechanical precision in a complex and meticulously executed process. Such is the art of dyeing, poised between magic and precision. | Photo credit: Giulio Ghirardi
