Città is welcoming the warmer weather ahead with a preview of their new SS2021 collection.
When designing the collection, Città’s in-house textile designers Imogen Tunnicliffe and Sophie Clapson were drawn to colour and the emotive response it can evoke.
“We explored the infinite aspects of colour,” says Imogen, Città’s Head of Textile Design. “The designs expose the variation and potential of tone, mass, combination, and composition.”
Throughout the pieces, bold hues are complemented with the more subtle. The intentional use of restricted and softer shades reveals colour can be equally compelling when it is limited.
Città continues to focus on the use of natural materials with linen, cotton, wool, jute, and seagrass throughout the collection. The weaving techniques of these compositions further influence the playful interaction of hues.
“Harmonious unions exist next to contrasting combinations and result in united, yet unexpected, designs,” says Imogen.
This is seen in the Cabin Wool Blanket—one of the hero pieces from the collection. The design takes inspiration from textiles commonly found in quintessential cabins and huts. The blanket is a cheerful reimagining of these classic New Zealand heirlooms and one Città hopes to become a beloved textile in people’s homes.
From start to finish, the blanket tells a New Zealand story. The design is conceptualised by Imogen and Sophie in Città’s Auckland-based studio. It’s then woven and milled by an Auckland manufacturer using lambswool sourced from the East Cape of the North Island.
The SS2021 collection further adds colour and texture to all spaces of the home. For the bedroom, there’s relaxed linen duvet covers and lightweight bedspreads. Living areas can be adorned with seasonal cushion covers, throws, and woven baskets. For the bathroom, you’ll discover vibrant wash bags and beautifully textured towels.
Spend summer days relaxing at home in Città’s linen loungewear or head to the beach with a carry-all market bag toting a happily coloured beach towel.
The first designs from the SS2021 collection are available in Città retail stores and online at www.cittadesign.com.Keep an eye on Città’s social channels @citta for updates as the collection continues to be released over the spring/summer season.
