Novella

2020

Novella reinvents a traditional Ottoman weave that brings the warp yarn to the surface, creating a textural play of contrasting yarns.

In Renaissance, Sylvie Johnson reflects on a pivotal moment in history when art and craftsmanship were deeply intertwined. Inspired by the workshops of 15th-century Florence and the spirit of cultural rebirth, the series honors the role of handwork and collaboration in shaping meaning and beauty. Created in close dialogue with Merida Studio’s artisans, each limited-edition piece is a meditation on skill, intention, and the enduring power of making.
