Italian Cotton Sateen Pillowcase – 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 piece closest to you. Italian cotton sateen with a smooth face, an inside pocket that keeps the pillow in and the edge clean, and four sizes: Standard 50 × 70, Grand 50 × 90, Euro 80 × 80 and Decorative 40 × 40 cm. Buy two in one colour, or one in each of two shades. 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: sold individually. Four sizes; select yours above.
