Pattern Design for Interior Textiles. Lucky Are Those Who Welcome It!

A tribute to the power of amulets in a large all-over pattern, where pomegranates and moresco queens, pinecones, cornucopias, lucky hands, and chili peppers protect and bless the homes that welcome them.
Thoughts of good fortune, mystery, and abundance inspired the entire creative process behind the textile design Buon Auspicio. Renamed Lucky, from today this print becomes part of the fabric collection IG Ier-Goné by Teruzzi Teo.
