Geometric lines and chromatics embody the architect’s stylistic references through a new and contemporary vision. The new gobelin has a renewed and contemporary dimension. An architectural composition of full and empty spaces, where textures, weaves and nuances create different planes. The different warps and wefts, characteristic of the gobelin weaving technique, produce a detailed design with a three-dimensional effect of different yarns and nuances. From neutral colours to rich gold tones, from intense red to blue ethereal and finally to shades of black and grey. With a versatile and eclectic taste, Bruno Tarsia produces editorial photo shoots, commercial catalogues, exhibitions and advertising campaigns, but also interior design for private clients and showrooms. Following his experiences in the field of interior decoration, he also works as a set designer for fashion photoshoots.
