#asloves 'Emotional Iridescence: A Living Colour' #asloves 'Emotional Iridescence: A Living Colour' by Celina Camboni @celinacamboni 

Taking the morpho butterfly as her muse - colourful, textured, and fanciful textiles are created using a bio-based iridescent coating, mimicking nature to propose new sustainable colour solutions. 

'Emotional Iridescence: A Living Colour' is a bio-couture research project demonstrating the development of a bio-based iridescent coating. Made from more than 95% natural and renewable materials, the innovative bio-iridescent film mimics the natural phenomenon of iridescence in nature. This bio-iridescent film is applied to deadstock recycled fabrics and materials, offering new opportunities for  the advocation of greener alternatives for the fashion industry.

Available in six colours, in roll format, with a width of 155 cm and a weight of approximately 500 gr/m2.

We have loved Lego’s Botanical collection since We have loved Lego’s Botanical collection since they launched it last year with the first flower bouquets. We couldn’t be happier to see them expanding and including more plants, with the addition of succulents and an orchid.

All of the Lego botanical pieces are intended for adults, not children, and make perfect gifts for those of us that are not so green-fingered!

In May's Material Journal we looked at innovative In May's Material Journal we looked at innovative uses of materials at the Biennale di Venezia, which returns after a long pandemic wait of three years, and highlight some of our favourites!

“The Milk of Dreams takes its title from a book by Leonora Carrington (1917–2011) in which the Surrealist artist describes a magical world where life is constantly re-envisioned through the prism of the imagination. It is a world where everyone can change, be transformed, become something or someone else.” Cecilia Alemani

Alongside the country pavilions, Cecilia Alemani curates the central pavilion group  show under the title ‘The Milk Of Dreams’, with a quote after our own hearts, proposing a world where “everyone can change, be transformed, become something or someone else.” This couldn’t be more in line with our sentiment towards materials. We are always looking to extract their hidden potential, and revel in unexpected applications, or transformations.
