Carly Kuhn x Villa Las Perelli
In the studio, drawing is a fundamental part of the way we work.
Through this special collaboration, we bring illustration to the table by the hand of the New York artist Carly Kuhn.
The artist has drawn exclusively for us different tableware pieces inspired by the world of Villa Las Perelli. The illustrations, interpreted in her distinctive personal style, reflect the combination of antique and modern characteristic of our studio.
From a selection of 100% Italian-made linens, this collection includes an apron, a tea towel and four napkin designs, embroidering each drawing one by one.
Carly Kuhn, (formerly known as The Cartorialist), is a Miami-based artist specialised on illustration, having collaborated with renowned brands and companies such as Sotheby's, The American Ballet Theater, Kravet, Prada, Crate & Barrel and Oscar De La Renta. Born and raised in New York, Carly graduated from Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse University with a degree in Television, Radio and Film. She lived in Los Angeles for 12 years, working in the entertainment industry, specialising in sitcom TV. She also studied stand-up at the well-known Groundlings Theatre, before finding her way to an unexpected career as an artist.
Carly finds inspiration in people with their everyday quirks and concerns, pop culture (both old and new), all things antique, life stories, and the odd observations she encounters as a New Yorker by heart, who wanders around any city. Nowadays, Carly continues to illustrate different worlds full of fantasy, style, timelessness and a touch of sass.
We share with Carly the attention to detail, the beauty of craftsmanship. The value of artesian work and design.
