Water was a sacred motif for Renaissance artists. Venere evokes the ephemeral splash of a fountain with a stitched linen alpaca blend and mouliné lines over a ground of Marble mohair.
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 piece is a meditation on skill, intention, and the enduring power of making.
