Italian Cotton Sateen Flat Sheet – Pietra e Cenere Collection · Cenere chiara

The Art of Sleep

Shown in Cenere chiara, a light warm grey with the softness of cooled ash. In daylight it reads almost neutral; in the evening it takes on a faint pearl tone. The lightest step of the Pietra e Cenere palette, and the one that opens a room up.

The layer you feel all night. Italian cotton sateen that is cool and smooth against the skin, softer than percale in hand, with a low sheen instead of a crisp finish. It drapes cleanly, tucks easily and gets softer with every wash. The three colours of Pietra e Cenere were chosen so that any two sit together: a pillowcase in one shade, a sheet in another, and the pairing is already checked.

The Fabric

Pietra e Cenere is woven from SMERALDO by Martinelli Ginetto, a 100% cotton sateen made in Italy by a mill that has been weaving since 1947. Thread count 300, 100 g/m²: light enough to breathe, dense enough to feel like something in the hand. The sateen weave floats more threads on the surface, so the fabric has a soft, low sheen rather than gloss, and a smooth face that gets softer with every wash. Softer and smoother than percale at the same thread count; more breathable than polyester satin.

Woven at 305 cm width, so larger duvet covers and sheets come without a seam down the middle. OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified: tested free from harmful substances, safe against sensitive skin. The fabric is woven in Italy by Martinelli Ginetto. Each piece is cut and sewn in Trakai, Lithuania.

Please note: this listing is for the flat sheet only. Fitted sheet, duvet cover and pillowcases are sold separately.

Care

Machine wash warm on a gentle cycle, with similar colours. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or line dry. Iron on medium if you like a crisp finish.
