Dolce far niente

Based on the Italian lifestyle philosophy 'dolce far niente', the sweetness of doing nothing, this printed collection aims to inspire moments of connection with the present time through good food, the magic of the after-dinner conversation, the contact with nature, relaxed conversations with friends, and the enjoyment of art and the summer season.

The central piece of the collection is a tote bag that can be transformed into a picnic blanket, created in collaboration with Camila Gianello, Uruguayan designer and founder of Tesoros de la Tierra. When unfolding this blanket you will discover an illustrated picnic in trompe-l'oeil style. Every painted object and detail will guide you, like a game board, to enjoy a fresh and relaxed meal outside.

Basada en la filosofía de vida italiana ‘dolce far niente’, la dulzura de no hacer nada, esta colección estampada busca inspirar momentos de conexión con el presente a través de la buena comida y de la magia de la sobremesa, el contacto con la naturaleza, las conversaciones relajadas con amigos, el disfrute del arte y de la estación veraniega.

La colección tiene como foco central un bolso transformable en manta de picnic que hemos creado en colaboración con Camila Gianello, diseñadora uruguaya fundadora de Tesoros de la Tierra. Al desplegar esta manta, aparece un picnic ilustrado en trampaojo, cuyos objetos y detalles te van guiando, cual tablero de juego, para que disfrutes de una comida fresca y relajada al aire libre.
