Colour meets Texture
Blending botanical essence with avant-garde design
Teorema, as its name suggests, is built on simple yet profound principles. At its core, the collection channels the botanical essence of gardens, expressed through a rich and dynamic palette. A wide range of neutrals serves as a foundation, seamlessly intertwined with bold, expressive hues that breathe life into the fabrics. Developed by Formafantasma for Rubelli, Teorema draws inspiration from the vibrant colours of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, the dynamic patterns of Fortunato Depero and Bridget Riley, and the timeless appeal of geometric design. The collection is further elevated by the luxurious touch of fine wool, establishing it as both a visual and tactile masterpiece. At first glance, Teorema stands out as a strikingly innovative collection – an unprecedented exploration within the Rubelli world. Yet it remains grounded in a second core principle: offering an extensive, meticulously curated selection of fabrics that cater to a wide spectrum of needs. From delicate textures to bold compositions, each fabric is treated with the same level of care and precision, ensuring both beauty and functionality.
Through these fundamental ideas, Teorema unfolds as a collection that seamlessly merges heritage with modernity, craftsmanship with creativity, and nature with design.
