MANGAS ORIGINAL

Patricia Urquiola was inspired for this collection by hand-knitted woollen jerseys, and the rounded shapes and elongated formats look very much like the knitting pattern for a sleeve. The great virtue of this collection lies in the complex method that had to be developed to actually produce the items. Four years of research were needed to come up with the tools and working system that would enable the complete pieces to be woven entirely on a hand loom, despite their changing textures, types of yarn, pattern direction and widths.
