Serica 1870 purchases an early 1800s loom for making authentic silk brocade

Only a very few of these looms are still in existence:
- at least one is in China, considered a Cultural Heritage of Humanity
- at least one is in Florence at the Fondazione Lisio
- at least one is at Tessitura Bevilacqua in Venice
- one was acquired by Serica 1870 for its headquarters in Follina.

Why?

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. William Shakespeare

Because the creative idea may materialize at any instant and from any thing…

It is infinitely easier with art because artists listen to their intuition and come up with insights and solutions that are there for all to see.
But it’s our job to know how to unearth them, beyond the familiar designations.

An example?
