Essential a Mano
Born in the highlands of the Altiplano, Essential a Mano transposes the deep softness of baby alpaca into a rare colouring technique: manual dyeing that creates a very subtle and delicate gradient. The material remains calm, sensual, almost matte, while the colour blends gracefully across the height of the panel. Each piece is made to order, for a result that is both controlled and unique.
The intention : to let the architecture and light speak for themselves, with a muted, precise and never ostentatious chromatic transition.
Composition : 100% baby alpaca (Andean Altiplano)
Process : piece dyeing, ‘A Mano’ dipping carried out entirely by hand for a fine, controlled gradient.
Width : 140 cm
Weight (approx.) : ≈ 216 g/m² (≈ 302 g/ml over 140 cm width)
Gradient parameters and configurations :
Background (base colour) : up to 380 cm.
Gradient area : maximum length 70 cm AND no more than 1/3 of the height of the panel.
Tinted band (at the bottom, by default) : from 0 to 150 cm.
Placement options : the tint can be placed in the centre on request, with the gradients on either side and the base colour at the ends.
The result : a very soft curtain with a natural drape and ultra-subtle colour expression — tailor-made, precise, unique.

- Recommended care : dry cleaning
- Between cleanings : brush very gently in the direction of the pile, vacuum lightly with a textile brush, avoid direct heat sources and prolonged exposure to sunlight
