"…to start exploring the emotional triggers of simple shapes and combinations of colours. 'I called this series Intonations.' Similar to the intonation of sound that conveys different emotions, colours do the same."

AKT Magazine — the Belgian arts and design title — devoted a five-page print spread in its 2022 fourth issue to Atelier Alba Amicorum. Writer Micha Van Dinther's profile is one of the most considered readings of the brand to date, attentive to the philosophical impulse beneath the craft — colour as language, scale as intent, the cloth as a place where ideas can sit and be carried.
The piece introduced the Intonations series — a body of work where simple shapes and colour combinations operate like music: small, precise, capable of carrying very large feelings.
