A green macaw in the stillness of a tropical garden.
Parrot 2 is the counterpart to Parrot 1 — the same naturalistic rigour, a completely different palette. Where the African grey brought warmth and contrast, the green macaw brings a range of cool, botanical colours that seem drawn from a herbarium of the Americas: emerald green, turquoise, midnight blue on the long wings, vermillion red on the tail and forehead. Around him, large celadon grey-green leaves and pale blue flowers on tall stems — the precision of a naturalist, the beauty of a painter.
On natural white linen, this design has the quality of a hand-coloured engraving from the great eighteenth-century ornithological collections — Buffon, Edwards, Levaillant. An everyday object that brings the beauty of natural history museums into the kitchen.
Linen — why it is the right fabric for a tea towel
Linen is not just the most beautiful fabric for a tea towel. It is the most suitable one, for concrete reasons.
It absorbs up to 20% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet — it dries glasses and dishes without leaving streaks or lint, something cotton or microfibre fabrics cannot match. It dries quickly, reducing residual moisture and odour. It is naturally antibacterial — linen fibres contain lignin, which inhibits bacterial growth even after repeated washing.
And it improves over time. Every wash softens the fibres without weakening them — after ten washes a linen tea towel is softer, more absorbent and more beautiful than when it was new. Cotton does the opposite: it stiffens, pills, loses colour.
The linen we use for our tea towels is selected from the finest European mills — 100% pure, with no synthetic treatments.
Hung on a kitchen hook, Grey Parrot 2 brings a cool, botanical palette — different from and complementary to Pappagallo 1. Hung together, the two tea towels create an ornithological composition that transforms the kitchen into a contemporary cabinet of curiosities. Separately, each works alone — but together they tell a larger story.
As a gift: wrapped with a ribbon, it is an original present for those who love nature, art, ornithology — or simply beautiful things that are also useful.
The green macaw is one of the most majestic birds of the rainforests of Central and South America. Its size, its layered plumage — green on the surface, blue and red in depth — and its long tail made it one of the most prized subjects of eighteenth-century European naturalists, who brought live specimens to court as diplomatic gifts of rare value.
In this design, the macaw is depicted on a slender branch, balanced between large celadon leaves and pale blue flowers — a composition with the logic of a naturalistic tableau: every element in its place, every colour in dialogue with the others. The green of the plumage and the celadon of the leaves create a near-monochromatic palette broken only by the red of the tail and the blue of the flowers — two notes of colour that keep the entire composition alive.
