The Rubelli 2015 collection presents a series of classics interpreted with a contemporary vision. Many patterns take their inspiration from Venice and from artistic creations or surfaces which can be linked to the city of canals. All of them are the result of a careful reading, by the designer, of those elements which his creative and critical sensibility can pinpoint, to then render them as weaves full of appeal and new inspirations. Terrazzo reinterprets the typical Venetian floor in a mini pattern whose matte and shiny texture re-creates it in all its elegance. Toile de Venise comes from the observation of a series of eighteenth-century engravings, so as to capture their most hidden details. Barbarigo is the result of careful and thorough study of a wall covering in engraved leather, cuoridoro, typical of the Venetian Baroque. The contemporary nature of the collection lies in this special approach by the designer, in sharp observation capable of looking beyond and with different eyes. This is in addition to a more creative use of the palette which offers bright or in any case unusual colours for fabrics normally available in shades closer to established convention, ranging from powder pink, possibly destined to being considered the new beige, to fuchsia, cherry red and Irish green. Panama, Perù and Almorò merit special mention. They are the outcome of research into new weaves which create plain and faux uni fabrics which with their artisanal appearance appear almost to be handwoven. The series of three articles in wool are also interesting, resulting from thorough research into the yarn and also from specific finishes which enhance the woolly component. The new collection is presented in the new Rubelli magazine Passione Italiana. An exciting journey through places and excellences in Italy to discover that all this beauty is driven by passion, the same passion at the root of so many masterpieces and also textile creations that are new every time, the product of vital technical skill and artistic culture.
