Fall 2011 Collections - Bringing Nature Home As everyone focuses on nature, sustainability, and the environment, the three Italian companies represented by Arbiter have found beautiful and creative ways to portray this in their new collections. Reuniting with design team Carlo Ninchi and Vittorio Locatelli, Egizia (Poggibonsi, Tuscany, Italy) continues the natural theme that started with the water side of their Aquaria collection to nature on land with their Aria edition. Images of alliums, peonies, poppies, and chamomile are hand-screen printed on hand-blown glass or crystal in silver and color. These are twice fired at 580 degrees Celsius to permanently decorate the pieces. Natural elegance for the table or home. For over 50 years Riccardo Marzi of Florence Italy has been capturing nature in acrylic resin. Their new line, Livingstone, brings the look of a stream bed to serving pieces. Some are partners with natural bamboo bowls to enhance their organic feel. Legnomagia of Perugia in Umbria has been producing whimsical housewares for years using sustainably harvested European hardwoods and finishing them with non-toxic colors and finished with beeswax and natural oils. With a touch of whimsy they take the message of protecting the environment to heard in the imagery and with notations etched in their newest collection called, “Sensible Living.” Just as nature is a uniting theme, so is the celebration of the home. Each company presents the celebration of nature, the natural world, and home to their lines which will be exhibited at the New York International Gift Fair this August 2011.
