The Art of Printed Silks
At Momonì, prints are far more than mere patterns—they are visual stories woven from travel, poetry, and timeless artistry. Each design begins as a delicate dialogue between contrasting worlds: ancient folklore intertwines with geometric precision, and unexpected natural details come to life on fluid fabrics.
To wear a Momonì print is to carry a piece of wearable poetry: sophisticated, expressive, and rich with quiet luxury. This season, the collection turns its gaze toward the captivating landscapes and quiet craftsmanship of Northern Europe.
"Nordic Cameo"
The multicoloured, floral cameo print draws inspiration from the tempera-painted furniture found in the wooden houses of Northern Europe. Set against warm ochre and amber backgrounds, the flowers bloom in cool shades of blue and lavender, creating a poetic contrast between frost and warmth. Each cameo features a miniature floral world, suspended between domestic intimacy and natural elegance, like a ray of light within antique wood.
"Keffiyeh Mirage"
Ancient textures interweave, reminiscent of desert winds amidst the fjords: the Icelandic-inspired Kefya combines the resilience of tradition with the stillness of ice. The precision of its geometric shapes, resembling frost crystals, creates a landscape of light and shadow, while the fringes dance lightly, like waves of snow brushing the earth, as if carrying the essence of two distant worlds.
Answering the call of cold horizons and ancient heritage, this print weaves an unexpected dialogue between two seemingly distant worlds. The design imagines a sudden, warm desert wind sweeping through the silence of the Icelandic fjords, bridging the raw energy of Middle Eastern textile traditions with the calm, austere beauty of the Far North.
At its heart lies a reimagined Kefya pattern, stripped of standard conventions and reshaped through an Arctic lens. The iconic geometric lattice is elevated with crystalline precision: sharp, repeating shapes echo the structure of frost forming on dark volcanic stone or ice freezing across open water. This intricate play of lines generates a captivating landscape of light and shadow on the fabric, giving the pattern an almost three-dimensional depth that changes as it moves.
"Ice Arabesque"
Ribbons wrapped around pomegranate branches and thistle thorns end in thin scallops that resemble ice arabesques formed by a winter breath. The print vibrates with secret reflections, like frottage that captures the passing of time: the fruit, the thorn and the frost are all poetically intertwined, turning nature into a fragile and precious story, like crystal in the sun.
"Timeless Bloom"
This print is reminiscent of Northern European porcelain, featuring star-shaped flowers intertwining in concentric patterns alongside pomegranates, symbols of abundance. Like guardians of ancient stories, majestic and immortal whales emerge from among the branches and petals. Blending nature and myth in a delicate and harmonious way, the design creates a rhythm suspended between elegance and timeless poetry.
"Winter Majolica"
A majolica print that appears to have been sculpted by the breath of the North, inspired by the motifs that adorn hand-painted wooden furniture, stylised flowers and arabesques dancing in ancient symmetries. Like light on glossy paint, a spectrum of colours ranging from velvety burgundy to delicate pink interplay to create a vibrant design that speaks of the patience and soul of its creators.
