The Borromean Islands and Isola Madre, the enchanting and inspiring paradise of the Giardino collection. Laure-Isabelle Mellerio created the Giardino collection to pays tribute to the enchanting Borromean Islands and Isola Madre, which she loves for the charm and richness of its gardens. Its flowers and trees inspired her to create the collection's colour palette: green, orange and red, and the pervasive blue of the surrounding lake is also represented by the presence of a few sapphires. Contrary to most Italian gardens which are usually very well structured (especially in terrace), the Isola Madre’s garden is wealthy, lush and relatively wild.
