The Perfect Union
Every year in the coldest weeks of the winter season, strange sculptures begin to appear in the fields all over the island. It is the moment for grafting.
Wild olive trees grow throughout the island and they produce perfectly tiny olives with a thin and bitter skin. However, though the oil from wild olives is supposedly superior to that of domesticated varieties, the yield is much, much lower. And so the grafting game begins.

The Heritage Collection is an ongoing research project into classic designs and patterns in Sardinian weaving history. Adapting these designs to today's production capabilities and color schemes, the collection reintroduces traditional, historical pieces and tells their stories.
Allusion is based on traditional Sardinian bed covers from the 1800's. Always monochromatic, with the raised pibiones technique, these textiles were covered with patterns involving various plants and animals (real and fabled).
Materials:
Sardinian wool weft, cotton warp
