-
Heaven : Naive style embroidered Protea on a grey version of hemp canvas. -
Eve at work : Blackwork embroidery was popular in the Elizabethan era, and uses many repetitive stitches that can put you in a trance. -
The Promise : The fabric is 100% hemp canvas. No staples were used on the piece, only nails. -
Lucy chairs : In raw style with two types of raw silk.
Casamento is opening their studio for a Show and Tell exhibition of their latest projects from Thursday 18 October to Saturday 20 October.
Since Casamento closed their shop to solely focus on customer orders, it’s been a long time since we had the opportunity to see what they’re up to. With quite a few orders about to be delivered, they decided to open up their studio and transform it into a gallery space for three days. Each piece will also be contextualized with a story about the home it is destined for.
Also on show will be the pine, burlap and hemp chair, The Promise, shown recently on the Southern Guild exhibition at the Everard Read Gallery. Billed as a surprise is another brightly coloured ensemble that is “very different from our usual subtle colour ways,” says Eve Collett.
The VISI team are excited and will definitely be there!
