FROM THE RIVIERA TO THE ALPS. The Italian Riviera has always been more a state of mind than a place. The warmth that gathers in the stones at midday. The unhurried rhythm of a morning espresso. Long tables, even longer evenings, and that distinctive light that makes everything appear exactly where it belongs. A summer that never rushes, because it doesn’t have to. CALIDA has captured this feeling. And brought it to the Alps. The Riviera Selection is a collection for days worth remembering. Expressive, sun-drenched, and unmistakably Italian in spirit, pieces that breathe, flow, and feel as effortless to wear as summer clothing should. Motra’s Table complements this way of life with the ritual that brings people together: sun-ripened tomatoes, regional ingredients, and dishes that embody generosity and ease. A table set not only for a meal, but for shared moments, where glasses are refilled, conversations linger, and time quietly fades into the background. On a sun-soaked Swiss meadow, framed by wildflowers and with the Alps on the horizon, these two worlds came together for a perfect afternoon. The Riviera - reimagined. Not as a distant destination, but in everything we wear, everything we enjoy, and every moment for which we choose to slow down. Dress for the moment. Set the table. The rest will take care of itself.

We had the chance to live a bit of a creative dream - co-creating a hair clip with les solides. Those who've followed us for a while know how deep our love runs for print, art, and design. Being trusted to shape something together felt like the most natural thing.

The hair clip, crafted from white brass, carries that same balance - the form holding the hair, the pin holding the form. Inspired by Barbara Hepworth's sculptural work, it's a reminder that space can be as powerful as form that what we hold also holds us.

Its name, ERA, means „wind" in Albanian - a quiet, invisible force shaping everything it touches. And maybe in its gentle way, it's also about us, about women creating, supporting, and holding each other. This piece is meant to be grounding, beautiful, and mindful.

Motra continues to grow and evolve and we are always looking for inspiring people to connect with - if you are interested in collaborating on an event or in one of our retreats, please don't hesitate to reach out.
