Like an archipelago of islands, the Ilia collection is designed to create endless seating compositions. Their shapes acknowledge the body’s form and honor local social connections. Their materiality transports us to an Indian cotton field while creating an opportunity to honor traditional embroidery techniques.
The limited edition of Ilia was created in collaboration between Florence Louisy and Jean-François Lesage in his Chennai-based embroidery studio.Their materiality transports us to an Indian cotton field while creating an opportunity to honor traditional embroidery techniques. The wide embroidered belts gather in the bundle of raw cottons, knotted threads and beads of bone delicately intertwined.
