Nineteen corks. Three words. One truth only: Nature is the mistress of Art.

“Natura Artis Magistra” is the work that brings to its philosophical origins everything CorkFashionArt has always declared without ever saying it explicitly. Cork — a humble and natural raw material — transforms through precious fabrics into a work of art: it is Nature itself that teaches how to make Art. The grammatical precision of Latin becomes the celebratory and founding hallmark of CorkFashionArt’s own motto: “Nature Teaches. Luxury Celebrates. Art Endures.” Every letter lives a double existence. On the front face, the undulating script — free, generative, perpetual like the rhythm of sea waves — expresses the creative freedom of nature that knows no rigid canon. Rotating 180°, the same letter reveals itself in its geometric and structural form: arches, semicircles, intersecting lines with the precision of Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man. Two ways of being of the same letter — like nature itself, which is simultaneously chaos and order, freedom and law. On the top cap of each piece, the lowercase cursive letter in the colours of nature’s generative force. At the base, variegated lustrous real silk — no colour predominant, as in nature itself — conceals the AnchorPhygital code.

A variant of the celebrated phrase attributed to Pliny the Elder. A work born to be foundation.

Diciannove tappi. Tre parole. Una sola verità: la Natura è maestra dell’Arte.

“Natura Artis Magistra” è l’opera che porta alle sue origini filosofiche tutto ciò che CorkFashionArt ha sempre dichiarato senza mai dirlo esplicitamente. Il sughero — materia prima povera e naturale — si trasforma attraverso tessuti pregiatissimi in un’opera d’arte: è la Natura stessa che insegna come fare Arte. La precisione grammaticale latina diventa il biglietto da visita celebrativo e fondante del motto stesso di CorkFashionArt: “Nature Teaches. Luxury Celebrates. Art Endures.” Ogni lettera vive una doppia esistenza. Sul fronte, la scrittura ondulata — libera, generativa, perpetua come il ritmo delle onde del mare — esprime la libertà creativa della natura che non conosce canoni rigidi. Ruotando di 180°, la stessa lettera si rivela nella sua forma geometrica e strutturale: archi, semicerchi, linee che si intersecano con la precisione dell’Uomo Vitruviano di Leonardo da Vinci. Due modi di essere della stessa lettera — come la natura stessa, che è al tempo stesso caos e ordine, libertà e legge. Sulla sommità di ogni pezzo, la lettera corsiva minuscola nei colori della forza generatrice della natura. Alla base, seta reale lucida variegata — nessun colore predominante, come nella natura stessa — cela il codice AnchorPhygital.

Una variante della celebre frase attribuita a Plinio il Vecchio. Un’opera nata per essere fondamento.
