Novecento Italiano
The Ardecora Collection NOVECENTO ITALIANO has pledged to bring the fascinating Italian architecture of the twentieth century onto fabric and into the new century: stylish, creative and contemporary.
Villa Necchi – Restrained elegance, a mercantile past and the style of Italian rationalism characterize this jewel of Milanese architecture, built in the 1930s. Clear geometry and graphic stringency in a sensual interplay with classical elements dominate the spacious halls and salons. The esprit of the place, which was once a cultural hotspot for the luxurious lifestyle of an artistic intellectual elite, is still very much tangible today. Villa Necchi is now a museum in the heart of Milan on Via Mozart – and served as a wonderful source of inspiration for Ardecora’s new NOVECENTO ITALIANO collection. It is a tribute that references Italy’s dawn of architectural modernity with artistic grace, sophisticated craftsmanship and elegant designs.
The decorative balustrades at the entrance, for example, find their visual counterpart in RAZIONALISMO, a lavish velour with a rhythm full of character. An artistic tapestry provided the impulse for LA VERANDA. Light, dynamic and three-dimensional, the floral interpretation in metallic tones flows over the relief-like jacquard. DIMORA demonstrates a haptic and voluminous presence in 20 striking colorways with a unique play of light. With its wave-like structure, the high-quality moiré immerses itself in the exquisite marble world of Villa Necchi. Meanwhile, GIARDINO DIVERNO enchants us with golden interwoven motifs in shimmering metallic ornamentation. Like velvet, the sophisticated textile reveals itself as a jacquard in a shiny crinkled look thanks to its special dyeing technique.
