SHERAZADE ODALISCA

"Odalisca" is a special version of Sherazade. Its unique fabric
cover designed by Fancesco Binfaré harks back to 19th century
Orientalist painting - especially Eugène Delacroix - with overtones
of Matisse-inspired collage. It is a design that speaks of Arabian
Night carpets. The bold silvered flourish, as if drawn by a swooping
scimitar, lends an exotic oriental sumptuousness. Transferring this
complex pattern to the high-tech looms of today took some 300
hours.
The production process blends several ancient handloom
techniques - from brocade to kilim. The resultant weave
reproduces the materiality of traditional Arab fabrics that combine
yarns of different thickness and texture, from wafer-thin lurex
to chunky chenille.
