Philippe de Lasalle (1723-1804), fabric design and Moroso today. The exhibition “Lo Sguardo Laterale: Moroso, entre une recherche Arts Décoratifs et Design” curated by Patrizia Moroso and Marco Viola, runs until 1 September 2013 at the Musée des Tissus in Lyon. One of the most interesting features of the exhibition is a rich brocade (code MT 49489.6.6) created by the Venetian company Rubelli which faithfully reproduces a weave pattern which is held at the Museum in Lyon and has been attributed to Philippe de Lasalle, one of the leading figures in the eighteenth century silk industry. This luxurious fabric, with its elegant decorative motif and high thread count, has been used to dress some of the most iconic pieces from the Moroso collection, such as the Patricia Urquiola-designed chairs Smoke, Bohemian, and Fjord. -- source link
