THE ARTIST

Erzsébet Palásti

Painter, ceramicist, textile artist.

Erzsébet Palásti is a Hungarian artist born in Salgótarján in 1972. Her creative journey began at the Fine Arts academy in Budapest, where she specialised in ceramics. She later moved to Rome, where she continued her artistic education and developed a multidisciplinary practice spanning painting, textile design, and scenography.

Over the years, her work has been exhibited across Europe, reflecting a deep exploration of colour, form, and the relationship between nature and human perception.

In recent years, her artistic research has evolved into a more intimate and conscious practice. The idea of creating handcrafted scarves was born from a desire to reconnect art with nature — and to contribute, in a small but meaningful way, to the preservation of the planet.

These scarves are not simply accessories, but extensions of her artistic vision: wearable artworks that embody time, nature, and transformation.

MISSION

To reconnect people with nature, through art that can be worn.

Each scarf is made using natural processes and real botanical elements, transforming fabric into a unique, living surface. We offer an alternative to mass production by valuing time, craftsmanship, and authenticity in every piece.

THE CRAFT

Four practices, one philosophy.

Botanical Printing

Real leaves and flowers are pressed directly onto silk, releasing their pigments into the fibre.

Eco Dyeing

A low-impact, water-based process that uses no synthetic chemicals.

Natural Dye Textile Art

Roots, barks, and minerals create the foundational colour palette.

Handcrafted Silk

Each piece is hand-finished in the Rome studio — never duplicated.
