Peter Speliopoulos Lichen Linen Hemstitch Napkin

Made in Italy. Wind-blown linens: napkins made of fine linen collected from looms in Belgium, Ireland, and Italy. Sun-baked colors, rich and natural, inspired by the Greek island of Crete. Finished with hemstitch detail by artisans in rural Umbria. From Peter Speliopoulos, a multidisciplinary artist living and working between New York and Patmos, Greece who previously worked with Christian Dior and as creative director of Cerruti Arte and Donna Karan. With a studied understanding of texture and the artistry of color, Speliopoulos creates pieces to provoke the senses. Working in leather, suede, shearling, and clay, individual pieces explore the balance between primitive and contemporary: “a respect for history with the forward motion of modern life.” Sold individually. 22"L x 22"W Machine washable in cool to warm water with mild soap. Pre-soaking is effective in lifting stains. Line dry or dry on no-heat setting. Iron with a steam if desired.
