A wall hanging made from vintage cotton-linen blend fabric, dyed with cachou, screen-printed with rust-colored ink, and then embroidered with accents of cotton and silk thread. The fabric is coated with beeswax and hung on a black bamboo rod. The wax allows for a certain transparency when a light source is nearby. It also creates a velvety, crackling surface that reveals creases with every fold; these creases can be smoothed out if the wall hanging is ironed. It gives off a captivating scent and adds texture and structure to the fabric. One-of-a-kind piece.
Safre is an artisanal atelier founded by Martin Bady in 2019. As a textile finisher, he designs custom-made clothing as well as interior furnishings. He specializes in ancient, sometimes forgotten techniques, the execution of which requires considerable time. The materials used are traditional and created in the atelier; they are chosen for the richness of their inherent properties. The application of these ancient manual techniques immerses us in an appreciation of the craftsmanship itself, in the recognition of the imperfection necessary to evoke the sensory and the living. They accompany a reflection seeking to reconcile us with the notion of aging, as a participant in the poetry of our daily lives, echoing our unique history that unfolds each day. The humble intention is thus to design textiles that are embodied.
