The Botanical Collection is a celebration of the beauty and life-cycle of our planet’s flora, preserving the movement, form and vibrancy that illustrates our sensory gratification on a daily basis. A collaborative effort in three acts, the patterns are designed by three female artists from different artistic backgrounds, with each composition exuding an exploration of the delicate architecture of plants, flowers and leaves. Elena Manferdini’s designs for Act I take on the painting genre Natura Morta (Italian for still life), and are an academic exercise in composition, color and texture. They each create discreet, still moments of personal contemplation of nature in a domestic setting, and represent windows into alternative worlds, lost in time.
