The project created for the Lower Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi originates from a careful observation of the wooden choir, an architectural element that guided the entire compositional development.
The geometries, the rhythm of the inlays, and the material depth of the wood have been translated into a measured textile design, capable of integrating discreetly into the context of the Basilica, respecting its visual and luminous density.
Liturgical vestment set composed of:
The white set is made of a silk-blend fabric.
The violet set is made of a cotton/viscose/lurex fabric.
The project originates from the observation of the wooden choir and its geometries, with particular attention to the rhythm of the inlays and the chromatic variations of the wood.
Translation of architectural elements into textile design, through the study of proportions and decorative balance.
Handcrafted tailoring and embroidery development, culminating in the final assembly of the vestment ensemble and its overall assessment within its architectural context.
