Bruno Tarsia for l'Opificio

The architect and interior stylist Bruno Tarsia chose l'Opificio, the Turin family company

The architect and interior stylist Bruno Tarsia chose l'Opificio, the Turin family company designing and producing high-end furnishing fabrics and velvets, for the creation of his first textile collection.

The Relief collection was born, a jacquard operated fabric that has become famous over the centuries for its refined execution and irrefutable beauty. It uses the ancient gobelin technique dating back from 1450.

The new gobelin created by l'Opificio for the Relief collection designed by Bruno Tarsia has a renewed and contemporary dimension. The different warps and wefts, characteristic of the gobelin weaving technique, produce a detailed design with a three-dimensional effect of different yarns and nuances. A architectural composition of full and empty spaces, where textures, weaves and nuances create different planes.

Relief is a jacquard fabric available in nine color variations: from natural shades to rich gold tones, from intense fire color to the blue ethereal, up to large evergreens, grey and black.

At the last edition of Maison & Objet (January 2020), the Relief fabric is used to cover two Saba Italia products: Philo sofa, designed by Marco Zito and Pouf Island designed by Serena Confalonieri. The setting, inside the Opificio stand, enhances the fabric, declining it both as the upholstery for the Saba Italia furnitures and as walls and curtains.

A visual and sensorial mimesis in which the Relief plot wraps and involves the viewer; the intertwining and the alternation of the colors mark a graphic, perceptive and tactile rhythm.
