Radici PIGMENTS - UNDERTONE Printed carpeting

Undertone explores the most subtle and delicate dimension of colour, working through refined layering and elegant tonal variations across shades of green, beige and burgundy.‎ The pigment spreads softly across the surface, like a presence that gradually emerges, giving shape to a carpet that feels both gentle and enveloping.‎ The pattern conveys a sense of balance, where colour acts in a quiet, refined and cohesive way.‎ Subtle brushstrokes are arranged with precision across the surface, as if the creative gesture followed a measured and intentional rhythm.‎ Pigments is a printed collection that explores colour as a living material: layered tones, overlaps and different gestures become a language of their own, transforming pigment into a graphic trace.‎ Blots, veils, dots and interlacings unfold across the surface like motifs suspended between expressive freedom and ordered composition.‎ Each design emerges from the encounter between marks and colours that blend together, giving the textile surface rhythm, depth and vibration.‎ The collection unfolds through five patterns, Grain, Cadence, Layer, Relief and Undertone, developed in a palette ranging from natural shades of green, beige and sand to deeper tones such as burgundy.‎ At the core of the project lies a study of the ways pigment is applied in painting: layering, veiling, density and fading become compositional tools that transform the textile surface into an expressive field.‎ Colour is never flat or uniform, but takes shape through processes that recall both artistic and manual techniques, from the superimposition of brushstrokes to pointillist dispersion and material sedimentation.‎ Each pattern interprets a different way of applying pigment, exploring the relationship between control and spontaneity, rhythm and density, surface and the depth of gesture.‎ The result is a richly articulated decorative system in which each design, combined with a carefully curated colour palette, offers a distinct visual perception capable of engaging with space and transforming it.‎
