Product as protagonist: The Hanna Story
Designed with Alessandra Williams, Hanna is a quiet study in geometry and place, drawn from the architecture of southern Italy. Much loved since its debut, the full collection is now back in stock. Small architectural details, abstracted into form and woven as a reversible jacquard. An artifact of travel, design, and collaboration.
Part of a limited collaboration inspired by the architectural landscapes of southern Italy, the Hanna print is a study in quiet geometry and place. Designed by Alessandra Williams for Autumn Sonata, the motif draws from three distinct sources: the sculptural facades of Ostuni, the intricate mosaic floors of the Matera Cathedral and the marbled inlays of Monopoli’s cathedral staircase. These elements—captured in photographs and abstracted into form—are translated into a reversible jacquard weave in olive and ecru. Woven from plush, double-looped cotton, the Hanna Bath Sheet offers generous absorbency and refined texture. Designed to elevate daily rituals with subtle artistry and lasting function. An artifact of travel, design, and collaboration.
In your design practice, how do you typically garner inspiration?
I am constantly observing and archiving inspiration, typically during travels - drawing inspiration from many small architectural and interior details. Inspiration for me comes from so many sources, stumbling across satisfying colour combinations or an interesting pairing of materials, the composition of various shapes together and how pattern and print can be drawn from so many surfaces.
This print in particular was inspired by interior and architectural elements in Puglia, Italy. What drew you to that area?
Puglia is where my partner and I got married, I’m quarter Italian and love Italy. We were drawn to Puglia as it feels quite untouched and is still very rugged and real the further south you go. There are some amazing talent in Puglia, incredible art collections and properties, such as: Casa Soleto, Palazzo Danielle, Casino Doxi Stracca, Fiermonte Museum, Il Convento di Santa Maria di Constantinopoli.
What is the collaborative process like for you with A.S?
It has been so easy working with Lilli, and I feel we have an intrinsic alignment in our aesthetics and the way we draw inspiration. The very first time I came across Autumn Sonata, I was obsessed and still very much am! It’s a real pleasure in [CONFIRM] to be collaborating with a brand I truly love.
