Colourful gondolas, bright blue water and a little bit of Venice, found in the heart of Turin.

This beautiful mosaic artwork caught our eye inside Cafe Fiorio, one of those places where the walls seem to have stories of their own. The gondolas calmly bob on the water, creating a little escape from the streets of Turin.

And then there is Mark Twain.

Imagine sitting here with a coffee, writing your essays while surrounded by a scene of colourful gondolas and blue water. It feels like the perfect backdrop for a little daydream, even if you never quite make it to Venice.

When translated into textiles, we kept that same sense of movement. The gondolas and water become a flowing composition, with the mosaic-like details shifting naturally as the fabric moves.

A little Venice in Turin, with a coffee and Mark Twain somewhere in the background.
