Joie de vivre

Inspired by early 1900s Abstract Art, and in particular by Sonia Delaunay's "Couverture de Berceau", Joie de vivre is a table runner made from denim-colored textile leftovers. Every single scrap is enriched by a white border that accentuates its irregular shape; then, the pieces of fabric are matched and sewn together with the patchwork technique, to form a single long runner.

“Couverture de Berceau” is a blanket that Sonia Delaunay designed for her newborn son through the patchwork technique, communicating the values of care and protection. In a similar way and with the same technique, Flatwig Studio creates an object to take care of others around a table, in a convivial domestic situation or during an outdoor picnic. Joie de vivre celebrates conviviality, relationships and the joy of being together.
