Olimpia Zagnoli - Teenagers from Mars Blankets by Raawii
The starting point of the collection was finding a medium to collaborate on with creatives raawii had in mind. Blankets were chosen on purpose for their longevity: when high-quality and properly cared for, they can last a lifetime. raawii blankets are produced in a century-old Florentine factory, using a special technique with jacquard looms. It allows for the creation of very complex patterns with many colours. The partially mechanical process requires at least two craftsmen working on a blanket at a time. With generous dimensions, the collection patterns are eclectic, ranging from strikingly graphic to more neutral, demure ones. Its high-quality, thick fabric is a blend of virgin wool and cashmere. Carefully sourced for its texture and longevity, it is worked and dyed in Italy.
“I’ve been working on this series of plump, abstract, colourful figures for the past couple of years and I still don’t know exactly where they come from or where they’re headed. They’re human figures but they’re also a bit alien. That’s where the name of the collection came from - Teenagers from Mars.” - Olimpia Zagnoli Illustrator & Multidisciplinary Artist
