It all began with the ceiling.
Not with the fabric.
In the Cathedral of San Gerlando, in Agrigento, the ceiling creates a rhythm of geometries and floral motifs.
We chose to begin there.
The flowers were not simply reproduced.
They were observed, deconstructed, and redrawn.
From decorative elements, they became structure.
Each module was translated into embroidery, preserving the original proportions and chromatic balance.
This is how the orphrey was born:
an ordered sequence of forms that retains the memory of the ceiling, returning it in textile form.
The chasuble does not imitate the architecture.
It interprets it.
Liturgical set composed of:
The project was born from the observation of the floral motifs and geometries found in the Cathedral’s ceiling, reinterpreted in a contemporary way through ordered lines and decorative elements.
Graphic development of the ornamental modules, study of proportions, and distribution of the motifs across the different elements of the vestment set, ensuring formal coherence throughout each component.
Cutting of the fabrics, execution of the floral embroideries, application of handwoven gold trimmings and decorative studs.
Handcrafted tailoring in cotton/viscose/lurex fabric in antique gold color.
