Get Tactile With This Sturdy and Natural Textile Line
Venetian fabric house Rubelli Group shook things up this fall with the appointment of Formfantasma’s Simone Farresin and Andrea Trimarchi as its new creative directors. The Milan- and Rotterdam-based design studio was tasked with bringing a contemporary outlook to the 135-year-old company. First up: the experimental atelier Kieffer. Its tactile new collection, Untitled, focuses on raw materials and weaving techniques that highlight imperfections. The natural fibers include hemp and paper—a departure for Rubelli, which is known for shimmering silks and rich fabrics. Among the standouts are Feral, a fluffy blend of mohair, cotton, and acrylic that comes solid or striped; sturdy linen Nachi; wool-cotton Masavi; and Cria, a commercial-grade 100 percent alpaca pile. Jute-acrylic Dune, wool-cotton Ryder, Chanel-esque cotton-blend Tweed Couleurs, and cotton-linens Reloaded and Linéaire are similarly nuanced, and, like all Kieffer textiles, are made near Lake Como. kieffertextiles.com
