Journey Into A Dream

For their debut exhibition on the top level of Alcova’s new E/Space, The House of Lyria has partnered with one of Italy’s most renowned cinematic scenographers, Alessia Anfuso, to create an emotive installation that will showcase their one-of-a-kind fabrics and invite visitors on a journey into a dream.

Based in the Tuscan city of Prato, the heart of Italy’s textile industry, Lyria produces original, timeless fabrics unlike any in the region. Founder Riccardo Bruni, the creative force behind Lyria, is an auteur of textiles who merges tradition, experimentation, and emotion to create materials with a wholly unique character. The company is named after a rare, elegantly spiraling conch shell. It symbolizes the freedom of the ocean, a wide-open realm in which to dream and explore.
After two decades of working with the world’s leading designers and fashion houses, Lyria has now expanded into the world of interiors. The House of Lyria offers a generous selection of blankets and pillows that ranges from subtly rustic simplicity to the complex refinement of faded opulence, all realized with an aesthetic philosophy of the “perfectly imperfect”, imaginative craftsmanship and authentically sustainable production.

Lyria creates fabrics for use in private residences, yachts, boutique hotels, and other commercial projects by leading architects and interior designers. We collaborate to create customized one-of-a-kind furniture and to refresh existing pieces with our textiles.
