A few months back, I had the incredible opportunity to visit the @tonellosrl R&D house in the picturesque landscapes of Italy. Alongside my talented friend, @sadiarafique, we embarked on a journey to develop an experimental art-based project.

The Tonello R&D house was nothing short of enlightening. It offered us an in-depth look into various technical processes, from Laser and Drill technology to O-Zone and Wake innovations & No stone washing. These planet friendly techniques left a profound impact on us as we sought to create eco-conscious experiments.

We’re thrilled to showcase the results at the upcoming Kingpins show in Amsterdam.

This collaboration, known as Project SA•KE, represents the artistic partnership between SAdia Rafique and KElly Harrington.

Above all, this project has been a harmonious fusion of art and Tech. The intricate artworks have been lovingly crafted by @sadiarafique and myself @kellouhar. These creative expressions are beautifully complemented by the garments designed and made by the talented @mohsinsajid.

I extend my thanks to the following individuals and teams who made this venture possible:

Tonello Team: @tonellosrl, @alice_tonello_, @albertolucchin, @chlair_, @carloreniero, @lucreziasaccardo, @narcolessia_
