CAMILLA SUPPA

Camilla Suppa is an Italian designer and illustrator born by the Adriatic Sea. She started off as a customer in Paris, now she is based in Milan. Her project Variations is an experimental ballet of colors on fabrics. The natural dyes are extracted from botanical, mineral, and insect parts and gently fixed by mordanting. Each piece is handcrafted using the Shibori technique and is the result of intuitive experimentation on the metamorphosis of color. The pigments employed in her research are: Rubia tinctorum (madder), Robinia Pseudoacacia (acacia), Reseda luteola (wild mignonette), Haematoxylum campechianum (logwood), Papaver rhoeas (common poppy), Cochineal.
