Message Seller Designed and produced by one of the finest slow mills in Italy, Bonotto, this 52% Cotton, 28% Polyester, 16% Viscose, 4% Elastane Jacquard is perfect for tailored jackets and pants. The unique design of the jacquard uses black and off-white yarns to create a distorted herringbone texture. The Slow Factory represents the manifesto against industrial standardisation and mass production at low cost. In Bonotto, all these processes are entrusted to mechanical machines with no automation rather than to electronic machines. Old, discarded, and neglected looms, precisely because they are “slow”. This brings us back, therefore, to the luxury of craftsmanship, to hand-made works and the savoir faire that best expresses the intrinsic Italian heritage of the Veneto countryside, a place dense with creativity and design. The quality of a fabric goes back to being synonymous with the length of time it takes to make it. The factory is no longer a geographical place with pre-fabricated walls but represents a territory with its histories and memories. A modern vision of work and enterprise, combined with old-fashioned technologies and an increasingly innovative creative design. Fabrics, like those of the past, long-lasting, that come from a different and more natural relationship between man and machine. Fabrics that are rich and precious, inside and out. The referral to art is constant and, in Bonotto, so strong that it radically changes the conventional organisational and production process rules. For decades the factory has hosted countless artists who have donated or specially created some of their works. The Fluxus movement, whose greatest collector and patron in Italy is, in fact, Luigi Bonotto II, almost involuntarily imposes on the company a soft operating logic, flexible and fluctuating, which makes work, first a cultural process and then a business. What came about through Fluxus has today been collected and is protected by the Bonotto Foundation, whose headquarters remains firmly located within the large production site in Molvena.
Applications: Perfect for tailored jackets and pants.
