IN THE MANNER OF…
Design by Fabrizio Bianchetti
The term “avant-garde” (literally, “advance guard”) designates the spirit of cultural innovation that looks towards a new destination for artistic research using unconventional means: the artist abandons conventions and finds her/his own expressive form, often standing in open contrast to past experiences of art.
In the manner of… Collection was borne of these premises, a collection that looks to the art of the early twentieth century as an inspirational muse for the elaboration of its own designs. In the manner of… consists of 9 designs reproducible in series or as large wall paintings in different colours. The painters Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Giorgio Morandi, as well as the architect, designer and painter Charles Rennie Mackintosh, were the source of inspiration for the designs of the collection.

IN THE MANNER OF… GIORGIO
The painting of Giorgio (Morandi) can be defined as unique and universally recognized; very well-known are his still lifes in which the objects represented (bottles, vases, coffee pots) are taken out of their functional context and analysed in their pure essence. One of his defining characteristics was his use of very few colours: this made his work poetic and surreal when defining the shapes of his objects in the infinite shades and hues of vibrations. For this reason, his painting is called “tonal painting”
IN THE MANNER OF… CHARLES
Charles (R. Mackintosh) is the leading exponent of the so-called “school of Glasgow”. Mackintosh developed his own style, characterised by the contrast between strong and exact angles and floral decorative motifs with delicate curvatures: an example is the rose motif, used together with some references to traditional Scottish architecture.
IN THE MANNER OF… GEORGES
Eliminating artifices such as chiaroscuro and perspective, Georges (Braque), reduced the palette to only solid colours, and exploited geometric volumes. Over time, Georges developed a fantastic alphabet made of a few lemmas (birds, the charioteer, the lovers, the earth, a fish, a vase, a mandolin, a skull, a bunch of grapes, etc.) always replicated and again perfected in search of the ultimate and definitive simplicity.
IN THE MANNER OF… PABLO
It is said that the first word spoken by little Pablo was not the traditional “mother”, but “piz!” from “ lápiz”, which means “pencil”. And before even starting to speak, Pablo (Picasso) drew.

INFINITE TOUCH
The entire Infinite collection, precisely because it is conceived as infinite and changeable, is now available in a relief version. All the decorations of the Infinite collection – structural variations, macro and micro-geometries – can be reproduced in relief in all colour variations. The Infinite Touch collection offers the possibility to print the decorations in different colour combinations: white decoration on a coloured background, black decoration on a coloured background, matching two-tone decoration in relief, contrasting two-tone decoration in relief and finally tone-on-tone decoration in relief.


MERLETTO TOUCH
The Merletto Collection is also available in relief. All the decorations can be reproduced in relief with different chromatic combinations: white decoration on a coloured background, matching two-tone decoration in relief, contrasting two-tone decoration in relief and finally tone-on-tone decoration in relief.
MERLETTO TOUCH ANTIQUE
Tapestry is a form of textile art that lies halfway between craftsmanship and artistic representation. Technically, it is a fabric with a dominant texture made by hand on a frame and intended to cover the walls. Usually of wide format, it depicts large and extremely detailed drawings. The Italian term “arazzo” comes from the name of the French city of Arras, where the finest tapestries were produced in the Middle Ages.
The peak of Tapestry production was reached in the Renaissance, particularly in Flanders and France, in Arras, Paris, Aubusson, Tournai, Brussels, Audenarde, Grammont, Enghien and Beauvais. The royal Gobelins factory, founded in Paris in 1662, continues to produce today.
The Merletto Touch Antique collection integrates the typical lace decoration with vestiges of ancient decorations, providing the opportunity to reproduce in relief some parts of the design itself. The designs of the Merletto Touch Antique collection are therefore partially embossed with antiqued and worn effects.
