Collection concept:
Anima and Anima Ritorno
"Because inside, inside is so,
of emptiness, of darkness,
of glimmers, of light,
imperfect."
The Anima collection was born in 2017 from the desire to create an airy, frayed structure and the encounter with natural wooden fragments, once a vital part of a leaf. Elements which in their conformation make light pass and generate shadows; elements shaped into new forms. Anima Ritorno incorporates the trace of the original elements, the memory, the nostalgia of the natural element, the journey backwards.
