On Weaving, Milan Design Week 2024
Join us on a journey evoking memories of times gone by; gestures and ancient rituals. Celebrating the
natural beauty of earth tones, surrounding us in a sense of calm elegance.
On Weaving, an installation born from the meeting of two ancient textile cultures, that of Italy and of
Japan, tradition reinterpreted and revived in a contemporary key.
The exhibition, located at Casa C&C Milano, at the heart of historic Brera, welcomes visitors in a space
suspended in time. Here precious artisan fabrics, from the latest Terra collection of the Milanese
Maison and the distant Tango region in Kyoto prefecture, intertwine. This connection creates
atmosphere in profound connection with nature. Material surfaces, strong textures and an unmistakable
exploration in colour recall a return to the innate strength of simple and harmonious design. The need
to reset our values in line with the simple and familiar; the pleasure of disconnecting from our hectic
modern life: these are the ideas that inspire On Weaving.
The vertical garden in the courtyard of Casa C&C Milano merges seamlessly with the interior, in a
decorative unicum in which precious natural materials become refined pieces of textile craftsmanship.
Covering the walls of the internal spaces; silks, bamboo and rare wisteria threads frame the rooms with
casual elegance, together with studies and prototypes of new textile structures that innovate the
centenary tradition of Tango. Here, light dappled fabrics give shape to an intimate and welcoming
space where you can participate in the tea ceremony, the rite par excellence of Japanese hospitality.
Seemingly simple in aesthetic, but rich in tactility and made with sophisticated manufacturing methods,
On Weaving is an installation designed to gently reconnect with material and artisanal know-how.
Taking you on a journey between the past and present, in a tangle of plots and culture.
