The House of Lyria is based in Prato in the heart of Italy’s textile industry. Its founder, Riccardo Bruni, draws inspiration from all around, scanning old photographs and recalling memories of his grandparents’ linen sheets. He has a particular affinity for ideas of the imperfect – stemming from the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi – and so selects natural fibres with a lived-in feel. The Generosita towel is handwoven in high-quality linen with fringed edges and colourful stripes created using botanical dyes.
