‘N U N O F E L T I N G’ – A Contemporary Ritual of Japanese Textile Expression

‘N U N O F E L T I N G’ is the modern incarnation of an ancient Japanese technique, selected by Cristina Secco as the ideal means of expression to create unique wearable pieces. It’s not just weaving; it’s a contemporary ritual of slow manipulation that transforms raw materials into wearable works of art.

In this intricate process of creativity, small amounts of wool fibers are laid and interwoven on foundational fabrics like cotton, linen, or silk gauze. With water, soap, and careful manipulation, they come to life. Colors, carriers of experimental desires, echoes of feelings and inspirations, blend in the art of Nuno Felting.

The resulting surfaces are more than simple pieces of clothing. They are warm, touching, and soft sensory experiences that capture light with every movement. Geometric, abstract, and painterly lines emerge as balanced expressions, immersed in the form that welcomes them.

The garments designed by Cristina Secco through ‘N U N O F E L T I N G’ embody simplicity and modernity. They go beyond the concept of clothing to warm not only the body but also the soul. Production is fueled by chromatic power, instinctive gestures, and essential lines, merging tradition and modernity.

Cristina Secco’s Nuno Felting is a sensory journey where color, touch, and form intertwine, uniting a past rich in traditions with a creative present. Each piece becomes a bridge between worlds, carrying the history of Japanese Nuno Felting into a contemporary and global context.
