Londonart continues to explore and experiment through the new Tale Books Collections designed by Nicola Bottegal. The core of this collection is tales, travels, and culture, exploring specific creative worlds. The first capsule, “Kimono,” is inspired by the art of fabrics, patterns, and ancient screens. These artworks can engage the senses in a new aesthetic experience, lighting up the atmosphere with splendor and elegance. The result of the reinterpretation of centuries of decorative art, essential yet full of details, Tale Books Collection recreates decorative surfaces that embellish the spaces they inhabit, offering, in the case of Kimono, glimpses of Japanese life, tradition, and the evocative and imaginative creativity that this world enshrines. The printing of this fine Tale Books collection is the result of two different printing technologies. Gold, silver, caramel, white, and black hues are the background to the precious and extremely detailed handmade designs. The protagonists of this collection are the traditional elements of Japanese iconography, such as cherry blossom branches, bamboo, wisteria, a stolen landscape, waves, and herons. An Oriental-style palette of possibilities, ready to create atmosphere and chiaroscuro effects in an alternation of strokes that accentuate its three-dimensionality. The “optimistic” bright and vivid colors chosen—like red, bright purple, blue, and green—enrich this collection, a triumph of precious details, inspired by Eastern wisdom.
