NAKED SUMMERS Terra Greca Woven Throw

Naked Summers Terra Greca is a woven piece capturing a scenery on a greek island. The house, the vases and the birds flying over the Aegean sea are elements of the everyday life in Greece that signify the Mediterranean culture and its people. In collaboration with a small greek weaving industry we transferred a naked summers design on the weave and produced a series of covers/throws/blankets that can be used for home decoration.
In the intersection of art and fashion, naked summers transforms clothes and accessories into a canvas of expression using the traditional silkscreen printing technique. Christina Mandilari transfers her paintings on organic textiles and dresses us up with her artworks. In this way everyone can carry around a real piece of art, a piece of romance, a piece of summer.
The illustrations are breathing erotism and are focussing on the human figure. The inspiration arrived from the work of great greek painters and poets of the 20th century. They resemble tales as there is a clear combination of motives originating both from the mythological and the contemporary sphere, all evolving around the lyricism of feelings, the peaceful and joyful moments of the mediterranean lifestyle. Each one is a sequence of a movie, a song, a lyric of a poem.
Every naked summers’ product is a unique art piece handmade with love.
