Close your eyes and imagine Venice in springtime — ornate buildings, hidden gardens, Murano glass catching the light, and the faint sound of birds in bloom-filled courtyards. That's the world Tone Finnanger was thinking of when she designed Songbird.
A trip to Venice inspired the Songbird collection, with its references to the Art Nouveau style — the Stile Liberty found in ornate buildings and old cafes, Murano glass chandeliers, hidden gardens, and the romantic way of life that made Tone think about the ornamental outlined drawings of the era. The result captures the romance of Art Nouveau with a soft, modern twist — delicate hand-drawn motifs that gently echo the ornate beauty of the era in an enchanting palette of light, dusty pastels.
A light, dusty pastel palette gives the collection a soft watercolor-like effect. Think sage, coral, blue, mustard, and teal — all working together in that effortless Tilda way where everything coordinates and nothing clashes.
