For the creation of the nests present in Stigma we were obviously inspired by nature. Insects and vultures, in fact, are capable of creating stunning structures of great sophistication and complexity, often perfectly camouflaged in the vegetation that surrounds them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In particular, we were struck by the nests of the european pendulin<\/strong> (Remiz pendulinus<\/em>) and the long-tailed tit<\/strong> (Aegithalos caudatus<\/em>), graceful little birds that also live in Italy. These birds build pouch-shaped nests, with a small opening at the top. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Using purple willow branches, plant fibres, grasses and mosses – all materials recovered from our gardens or the countryside – we reproduced this type of nest and installed them on the plants, in order to recreate a habitat as close as possible to the natural one. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We know we cannot reach the perfection of the “houses” that birds build, but it seemed nice to pay homage to such expertise and care.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
