Inspired by Arte Povera artist Michelangelo Pistoletto, who uses everyday objects and industrial materials to create a dialogue between art and everyday life, Anelli features a motif of alternating rings woven from mohair plied with silk wool and a combination of wool and cotton yarns.
Inspired by the Italian movement of the 1960s, Arte Povera is a meditation on voice—how ordinary materials become expressive through care, intention, and collaboration. Created with Merida Studio, the series reflects Sylvie Johnson’s belief that meaning is never fixed: each limited-edition piece is an evolving conversation between artist, material, and maker. Beauty is found not only in the final form, but in the act of making itself.
