Inviting the muse

In the deep stretch of winter, with autumn now a distant shoreline, we turn, as we always do, toward the natural world. Nothing rushes. Nothing forces its bloom. Beneath the surface, life gathers itself quietly. This is not a season of display. It is a season of preparation.

Creativity follows a similar rhythm. It has its own cycle and must be treated as a living thing. It asks for patience and space, for nourishment and stillness. At times, it asks for guidance; at other times, simply to be left alone. What appears dormant is often simply unseen, allowing the most .

Now that our last collection, POLPO, has emerged from the nest into the world, our creative lab turns its focus towards new explorations. Currently, we are in our tending phase. The soil has been turned, and the seeds are in place. Our task is not to demand growth, but to create the conditions that allow it.

The muse cannot be forced to enter the space or sit beside us. But we can tend to the room, to light it, open its windows, fill it with the things that matter in the hopes that when the muse arrives, she finds the conditions to her liking and accepts our invitation to play. That is the work we are doing now. That is always the work.
