Fondazione Antonio Ratti Library

Last Friday, the whole crew and I took a class trip out to Como. We went to the Fondazione Antonio Ratti Library, which is a textile library. It was amazing- really beautiful fabrics. I saw a textile that is 1 of 2 ever made (from the late 1800s)! Thank goodness I didn't miss the train!

 "Perverted": Taking a picture of the wrong side of the fabric

This picture does not do justice! So intricate; this is 1 fabric of 2 that have ever been produced in this design.

If this interests you at all, you can check out the website- the entire collection is available:
