Superstrings outdoor fabrics for ARKF by Antonio Barone

  • Opus series

    Handwoven wall art | Opus series

    This series takes inspiration from the ancient construction technique of the stone huts (tholos), ancient rural shelters used by shepherds in central Italy. The stones were carefully chosen and superimposed layer by layer without the use of lime or bonding material. Somehow it is a kind of wall weaving where each stone between the interstices contributes to stability.

  • Flag Series

    Three-dimensional weavings | Flag Series

    The Flag series is a homage to the archaic nature of Abruzzo with its wide and still wild spaces. These Flags are made of wool, the soft, warm and generous material used by shepherds to protect themselves from the cold temperatures of prairies. Flags are crafted by using mainly Abruzzo-sourced organic wool from grazing sheep in the Campo Imperatore, an area at over 2000 metres of altitude.

  • Gleaning Series

    Inspired by Agnes Varda | Gleaning series

    Inspired by Agnes Varda’s documentary Les glaneurs et la glaneuse, these textile panels are the result of a 'gleaning' process. The gleaning activity is something necessary we practice everyday and it has something to do with the recovery of value both material and emotional. The practice of gleaning brings with it a moment of choice, you evaluate, you decide whether to let go, recovering or processing.
