Cultural Heritage meets modern design
Nanjing brocade, also known as the "king of brocade", has a high reputation in history for its exquisite craftsmanship and gorgeous design. The weaving technique of brocade originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China. After thousands of years of development, it has become one of the royal brocades, symbolizing dignity and elegance. Brocade adopts the unique weaving method of "through warp and broken weft", using a variety of colored silk threads and gold and silver threads to interweave. Common patterns include dragons and phoenixes, flowers and birds, etc., which contain auspicious meanings.

In 2009, Nanjing brocade was listed in the "Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO, symbolizing the highest achievement of Chinese textile technology. Today, brocade is not only a symbol of traditional culture, but also gradually becomes a source of inspiration in modern design. Through simplified patterns and innovative expression techniques, it is widely used in fashion and space design.

Artist collaboration
WILD invited the well-known patchwork artist Qiao Shuang to create a sensory journey for Nespresso that combines flavor and imagery. She focuses on patchwork, embroidery, hand-dying, fiber art and textile design. With her in-depth exploration of classical culture, outstanding artistic attainments and outstanding creativity, she actively promotes the development of Chinese traditional crafts and shines on the international stage.
