Saturnia is inspired by Løfberg's artwork The Emperor Moth. Using the intarsia technique, the graphic pattern on the moth's wings is illustrated, while its furry body is depicted on the sleeves in the softest, brushed up mohair.
Saturnia offers a gentle, warm embrace at that time of year when the beauty of nature meets a light breeze, and the scent of newly blossomed flowers fills the air.
The Emperor Moth is known in Latin as Saturnia pavonia
