Not only design, but fashion was included amongst the Salone Satellite’s surprises. Dexter’s collection of 90×90 pure silk scarves, designed in Paris and made in Italy, were presented alongside Cortini+Mattolini’s furnishing accessories and lamp collection. The collection features intense colours and innovative graphics that are intentionally ironic. The scarves play with the serial repetition of original designs, including gesturing hands, almost-nude mermaids in pastel shades, swirling on a black background, and birds with long, pointed beaks. The patterns are not painterly, but precisely defined, as if to underline the fact that their creators come from the design world. The birds’ heads are surrounded by solid, coloured circles that contrast the background, varied by the position of their stylized beaks, all resembling needle-nose pliers.
