The Pastel tablecloth brings with it precisely this familiarity, images and colors woven into the collective memory. Its linen and cotton cloth is a warm, sandy white on which thiner and then wider stripes run to form a pastel-colored tartan. But its identity is not only resolved in the domestic sphere, as its inspiration comes from another heritage and it is here that the linearity of this tablecloth's narrative blows up in favor of greater complexity. Pastel's domestic tartan has as its reference in Gio Ponti's 1930 work for the Società Ceramica Richard-Ginori. It is a set of porcelain dyed in the rigorous pattern of a tartan: the same pattern that recalls a home kitchen in those years represented a point of breakthrough and innovation.
It will be this combination that makes Pastel, a convivial, jovial, fresh and timeless tablecloth, one more reason to look forward to the fragrant breeze of spring.
