Our Savoir Faire with the techniques from Como and Lyon
The technique from Como
Once the design is created,
the colors are positionned.
This all over paisley variation
contains 7 set out colors
plus the background.
The technique from Como
THE ENGRAVER & THE PRINTING SCREENS
The engraver breaks down the design to create the screens for each color contained into the design. The information on the screen is represented by the presence or absence of a hole. The more the pattern design is intricate, the more the craft of the engraver is praised.
THE CRAFTMAN & THE BUCKET OF PRINTING PASTE
The craftman mixes the pigments together once the colors are prepared. The fabric is stretched over the printing table and the screens are applied with a squeegee,
THE TWO CRAFTMEN & THE SQUEEGEE
that squeezes the printing paste through openings in the screen onto the fabric ground. One by one, each screen adds new color and pattern to the fabric to built the final pattern.
The technique from Lyon
THE CARDBOARDS WITH THE HOLES
The shawls are woven on jacquard mechanical looms. These are the very old looms that make it possible to weave a design thanks to a perforated cardboard.
THE JACQUARD LOOM IS
ENORMOUS & NOISY
This perforated cardboard contains the information represented by the presence or absence of a hole.
This warp velvet is woven in double pieces which are separated by a blade as they go along.
THE YARNS
The weaving play between viscose and silk yarns allows for a shaping with sumptuous reliefs. Beyond three colors a manual application is required.
The technique from Lyon
Hand painting is a rare technique resulting from an ancestral know-how that requires extreme patience and precision.
On the same shaped part, the number of colors is unlimited.
