Ep 77 / Chatting with Taller Silvestre about returning to simple things and our Mediterranean collaboration

Alina and Vero are the engine of Taller Silvestre, an engine that is neither crazy nor fast, it is a naive, simple engine that takes us back to childhood. What arose as a personal need to reduce revolutions has turned into a beautiful project that touches us all a lot and that frees us in a certain way.

They started collecting things, like when you are little and you come home every day with a new stone, a stick or a flower, and they transformed them into beautiful things that went to the very essence of nature. In his workshop, flowers are pressed and turned into art, fabrics are dyed in unthinkable natural colors and even light does its thing with cyanotype. Everything is beautiful, everything is elegant, everything is natural. They speak calmly but with an encyclopedic knowledge of the Rubia or the Mediterranean Pine, of fabrics, warps and setting colors. Their hands give them away, since they often dye themselves with color in the process, as if nature returned to them, decorating them with the best it has.

This spring we joined them to do a beautiful project, a zubi bag that explores the oldest print, natural dye, and that represents a new phase of experimentation for us, taking the print to a new, more sustainable and natural process.
We invite you to listen to this podcast and become a little more naive and calm, which is something we all need.
