DOUBLE DECKER COUCH SERIES
‘I am proud we have created a series of items that rewire the relation with time, wear and tear, delivering a message of evolution and transformation which is progressive and uplifting.’ AspesiĪspesi handed over its Corso Venezia showroom to Hans Ulrich Obrist, Gianluigi Ricuperati and Patricia Urquiola who between them brought Obrist’s Instagram account – that sees him feature post-it messages from friends and collaborators – to life. ‘Across this whole project, we celebrate the regenerative power of handwork,’ said Anderson. To complement this 2.0 basketry, Anderson also brought 2019 Loewe Foundation Craft Prize finalist on board to create jars using the Korean Jiseung technique that sees strings of paper woven together to create household objects. The result of which is a couture-like patchwork of originality and innovation, at once timeless and distinctively Loewe. Sourcing 240 baskets in need of repair, Loewe handed them over to artisans Idoia Cuesta, Belén Martínez, Santiago Besteiro and Juan Manuel Marcilla who mended them using the ancient Galician technique of Coroza to repair the structures. Weave, Restore and Renew was Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson’s way of highlighting the new life that can be breathed into broken or damaged objects by ‘a craft intervention’. ‘We wanted to celebrate artisans and craft from all over the world and reappropriated centuries-old techniques, shining a light on the artists we work with,’ said Molloy, pointing to the new ‘Double Decker’ vase, inspired by industrial, corrugated tubing, and crafted in typical clashing Colville colours (a collaboration with LagunaB) the ‘Psychedelic Super Shag’ rug which joins the existing offering of floor coverings made by Turkish weavers using craft techniques developed by women artisans in Selçuk and the ‘Twisted’ vase and candlestick, the results of a collaboration with metal worker Katia Messali.

For the first time, it featured built objects in the form of tables designed and crafted in collaboration with Italian carpenter Federico Mazzolini. For Salone this year, founders Molly Molloy and Lucinda Chambers continued to push their agenda with their largest-ever homewares collection. While ethics are firmly on the fashion agenda, there are few luxury brands that labour quite as hard as Colville to ensure they are as responsible and circular as can be.
