Preparing to cut our napkins from a roll of Banchetto Pattern made by @pidginperfect, @BespokeAtelier and the people of Glasgow for our #scotlandvenice2012 project ‘Banchetto’ at the @la_biennale next week. The pattern is hand printed using great skill and craftsmanship and symbolise the importance of Openness, Equality and Empathy in design. #glasgow #scotland #uk #venice #venice2012 #italy #design #architecture #art #textiles #pink #pidgin #pigeon #pattern #craft (Taken with Instagram at Glue Factory)
