Take the same scatter of irregular confetti and enlarge it: at 73 cm vertically and 67.5 cm across, the repeat is big enough that a single width shows only part of the design, and the shapes stop reading as pattern and start behaving as composition. Nichetto drew both scales for Carnevale, his capsule for Rubelli, from the shapes thrown at the Venice carnival.
Large figures want flat surfaces. A long sofa, a headboard, a pair of curtains with a drop generous enough to let the repeat complete itself. Flame-retardant polyester throughout, 135 cm wide, 630 g, 28,000 Martindale rubs and Italia Classe 1 for curtains. Five colourways, made in Italy.
