Melnikov by Jelena Prokopljević

The new socks collection designed by different architects.

Knitted socks, made in Barcelona.

The socks do not have a heel pad, so they fit perfectly on the foot.

Composition: 80% cotton 15% polyamide 3% elastodiene 2% elastan

This sock is inspired by the Konstantin Melnikov Hous, a famous Moscow residence that, for much of the architect’s life, served as a sort of prison for him.

The Stalinist regime forbade him from building, so he turned to painting, living a precarious existence with his movements restricted.

While the house itself is white, the sock depicts a night scene with lights glowing in the hexagonal windows, signaling that Melnikov is home.

At the same time, it calls to mind other artists and architects silenced for political reasons, a phenomenon that, unfortunately, still happens.
