Carrara marble is the King of Marbles, world famous for being chosen by the greatest artists of all time, including Michelangelo.
The bordering artistic illustration in this silk headscarf celebrates Carrara marble’s marine origin. Water and marble: a natural combination that characterizes the territory of Carrara extending from the Apuan Alps to the Sea. Water and Marble can be found here in abundance: in facts, besides providing the finest marbles in the history of art, these alps are also extraordinarily rich in water sources.
Portoro is a very rare and precious black marble with gold veins, extracted in Portovenere and on the island of Palmaria, a few kilometers from Carrara. The illustration bordering the headscarf describes the Ligurian Coast, with its peaks overlooking the sea.
Arabescato is a precious and jagged lace, as is the Apuan landscape that borders the narrow strip of land that is Versilia, before the earth plunges into the sea. The border illustration in the headscarf represents Del Medico Palace, in Piazza Alberica, the main square in Carrara and one of the most beautiful squares in Italy. The marine creatures remind the bond between land and sea, characteristic of the territory.
Light and shining, the silk embellishes the marble texture.
Two materials synonymous with beauty and luxury come together in a fascinating materic contrast.
The headscarves marble patterns are elaborated from photographs and high-resolution scans of real marble slabs, selected in the most beautiful marble showrooms in Carrara.
The original illustrations by Paola Vagnoli of Artistante Art Studio celebrate the Carrara white gold’s marine origin. In facts, the Apuan Alps were created through a 220-million-year process of receding waterlines and a lifting seabed.
A 100% Italian production that combines two historic craftsmanship excellences: Carrara, UNESCO Creative City for the Marble Arts and Como, the Italian center for silk manufacturing. The Giardini Emersi collection is designed, printed and packaged by hand in Italy and is available only with pre-order. Each silk scarf is printed on commission and made entirely by hand.
This collection of silk headscarves is a journey through fine qualities of Italian marbles: Calacatta Statuario, Arabescato and Portoro, as well as among beautiful destinations between Tuscany and Liguria: from the Apuan Alps of Carrara to the golden port of Portovenere.
If marble was a pochette it would be a Cubette. A soft marble block to preserve precious things. This soft GOTS cotton pochette can be used to carry your marble silk scarf, or as a matching accessory.
The Emerged Gardens Collection is born from the collaboration between EVERYTHING MARBLE and Artistante Art Studio by Paola Vagnoli. Artistante printed fabrics come from the reworking of original artistic works, created with different techniques, from watercolor to acrylic, from mixed techniques to digital. Every pattern is printed in limited edition on high quality natural fabrics.
