Curated by Federica Sala, the exhibition has turned the former Garage Sanremo into a workshop where an installation-performance gives a live demonstration of the tools employed to create Herringbones.
Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay continue their research into the use of colours and patterns via a technique that slowly and repeatedly dips wooden planks into colour. Visitors are encouraged to try their hands at it by dipping coarse wooden planks into special tubs filled with colour.
Herringbones is a further evolution of the parquet created for Established & Sons and for Stella McCartney, and then developed into the Endgrain project in which the designers dyed wooden slats by cooking them in inks before assembling and sculpting them.
