Every collection I create for Borgo delle Tovaglie stems from my way of looking at the world. I don't seek rational consistency or an idea that will make an impact.
Every collection I create for Borgo delle Tovaglie stems from my way of looking at the world. I don't seek rational consistency or striking ideas. What really drives me is curiosity: curiosity about fabrics, architecture, colors that reveal themselves under unexpected lighting, objects hidden in flea markets or in the drawers of houses I happen to visit.
I like to think of my home and the homes of those who love our style as those of a traveling collector, a passionate aesthete who collects emotions, details, and suggestions without following fixed patterns but instead following intuition, a desire for beauty.
The fabrics I choose are never just for looking at: they have a full texture, a softness that slips through your fingers, a weight that speaks of their quality. The fringes, silky and rich, hand-woven on our looms, fall fluidly and thickly, like small textile architectures. The golds are never flat: they are worked in multiple shades, from light to shaded, to give three-dimensionality and depth. The Fall/Winter 2025 Collection stems from this idea of a journey made up of materials, looks, and atmospheres gathered and transformed into fabric. It is a visual and sensory journey, eclectic but always refined: prints, stripes, florals, and antique or ethnic details find a common thread in the sophistication of the colors and the richness of the workmanship. A home that, like that of a collector, is not afraid to combine different patterns, because each combination becomes part of a personal story.
Tablecloths inspired by the world: the deep blue of Ha Long Bay
One of the places that fueled my imagination for this season was Ha Long Bay in Vietnam. I remember that morning perfectly: the silence of the still water, the hills gently emerging from a milky mist, and the sky sharing the same palette as the sea.
That image gave rise to the Ha Long fantasy, a fabric in deep, velvety shades of blue, capable of blending in with both classic and more contemporary interiors.
The dense, slippery fabric seems to retain the depth of that still water: a material that becomes a backdrop, never intrusive but capable of elegantly accommodating dishes, flowers, and objects. Every fold, every reflection reflects the weight of its quality, like a landscape that is not only seen but felt in the hands.
Studio Line: luxury handmade tablecloths inspired by Art Nouveau aesthetics
At the heart of the new collection is the Studio Line, our most precious and tailored offering, designed for a discerning clientele who are passionate about true beauty and sensitive to the details that make the difference.
I wanted this line to be inspired by the world of Art Nouveau, as a tribute to its fluid curves, its decorative vocation, and the freedom with which it interpreted nature and craftsmanship.
Each piece in the Studio Line is a small textile masterpiece, the result of days of manual work in our tailor's workshop in Bologna. Here, the fabrics are not only beautiful: they have a tangible presence, a weight that can be felt when spreading them out on the table.
Aida tablecloth and jacquard runner: the material charm of craftsmanship
Alongside Tecla, I wanted to introduce Aida, a tablecloth that combines material and light in an original way.
The fabric is thick and substantial linen, woven with ultra-fine gold and silver lurex threads that create subtle, multifaceted sparkles. Not an obvious glitter, but a secret shimmer, like morning dew on a noble fabric.
The star feature is the fringe: long, silky, and full-bodied, made entirely by hand on wooden looms. Each woven thread tells a story of craftsmanship and conveys a sensation of full, heavy softness to the touch. Aida, in gold and silver versions, transforms every table into a sensory experience, capable of astonishing without ever being excessive.
Mix & match tablecloths: how to create a personal and elegant table setting
One of the most beloved features of Borgo delle Tovaglie is the possibility to compose, combine, and mix colors, materials, and patterns.
In this collection, I wanted everything to coexist naturally. Tailored stripes meet floral prints, thick linens interact with lighter and softer fabrics, and neutral tones welcome sudden bursts of color. This apparent heterogeneity finds unity in the common thread of material quality: tablecloths that flow softly through your hands, rich fringes that frame with elegance, fabrics that, in terms of texture and weight, speak of authenticity. It is the table of a collector who is not afraid to mix antique and ethnic, modern and classic, finding his distinctive style in the beauty and three-dimensionality of the craftsmanship.
Faro: the new iconic color for the winter season
For each collection and each journey, I choose a symbolic color. For Fall/Winter 2025, it is Faro, a warm orange-red, vibrant yet weathered, like the worn wood of a Norwegian lighthouse, enlivened by sun and salt. It is a color that does not remain flat but reveals different shades depending on the light, giving depth and intensity.
I wanted it in the collection as a counterpoint to the cooler, more neutral tones. It goes well with everything but is at its best when used sparingly, like a lively brushstroke on an elegant palette. In full-bodied fabrics and hand-crafted fringes, Faro becomes an accent that can be felt not only with the eyes but also between the fingers.
Sheets and bed linen: exploration, comfort, and aesthetic freedom
The bedroom also plays a part in my story. For this season, I have conceived of the bed as a place for mental exploration and sensory abandonment.
The washed linen sheets have just the right weight to envelop you, soft but full, with colors reminiscent of stones and minerals. Light brocade bedspreads, cushions with contrasting embroidered edges, and soft fringes that gently brush against you complete an eclectic ensemble.
The bed thus becomes the realm of the dream collector: a place where different fabrics meet and interact, maintaining consistency thanks to their material quality and rich workmanship. It is aesthetic freedom, but always elegant and sophisticated.
A collector's home, between dream and discovery
The Fall/Winter 2025 Collection is dedicated to those who love conscious beauty, quality that can be recognized at first touch, and details that surprise without ostentation.
It is a collection that invites you to look at the world with curious eyes, to collect fragments of wonder and lovingly compose them in your home.
Because the home of a traveling collector is never perfect, but always alive, welcoming, and deeply personal: a place where soft, heavy fabrics, silky fringes, and three-dimensional gold become the common thread of a story made of beauty and authenticity.
