Nicole - Seasons by Anastasiya - Winter

The cases from the “Seasons by Anastasiya” collection are exclusive products designed for the most discerning musicians, offering protection and housing for their precious string instruments.

The “Seasons by Anastasiya” line, born from the collaboration between Bogaro&Clemente and violinist Anastasiya Petryshak, stems from the artist's desire to interpret and express Vivaldi's famous Four Seasons not only through music but also visually. "I felt a strong urge to paint the seasons, to give color to his notes and shape to the sonnet's words," the artist explains.

Four original patterns, designed by the violinist—one for each season—are printed on these entirely handmade cases, crafted in the Bogaro&Clemente workshops.

The third case is dedicated to Winter.

For the front design, Anastasiya highlights the icy, frigid winter. Ice and snow dominate the scene, featuring people running and stamping their feet to keep warm, and others losing their balance, slipping, and falling to the ground. It’s a harsh winter that leaves no escape. The design reflects her vision of the words and music Vivaldi uses to describe the season: chilling wind, walking on ice, falling, and chattering teeth.

The back, in contrast, represents the quieter and more pleasant side of this season, inspired by the second movement of the concerto. It depicts a serene scene of being indoors, sitting by a warm fireplace, enjoying inner peace.

Both scenes are framed by ice, which cracks in places, hinting at the severity of this season.

The design also incorporates various musical fragments selected from the manuscript, integrated into the artwork to enhance the storytelling. This is accompanied by words from the sonnet that complement the music.

Anastasiya includes in the main scene a violin, carefully protected in an antique case and held by a figure representing herself.

The colors of this season reflect cool but light tones: silvery white, anthracite gray, pearl gray, and shades of blue, ranging from sky blue to deeper hues.

“For the creation of this season, I was inspired by the words of the sonnet accompanying Vivaldi's Winter: ‘To tremble frozen amid the chilly snow, beneath the harsh breath of a terrible wind, running and stamping one's feet at every moment…’,” the violinist shares. “The goal was to convey through imagery what is written in Vivaldi’s notes, filtered through my perspective and interpretation of his music and this season.”

Made from high-modulus pre-impregnated carbon, these cases are reinforced with local and structural carbon fiber for added thermal insulation and rigidity. The exclusive B&C-designed perimeter seal is dust- and water-resistant, with an IP-67 rating. Each case comes with two carrying handles and hooks for attaching a shoulder strap. It features a double combination lock for added security.

Inside the lid, there’s a system for securing four bows. Next to the violin compartment, there is a practical drawer with a lid, spacious enough to hold a shoulder rest and other accessories, and equipped with a three-slot pen holder.

Each case in the “Seasons by Anastasiya” line is described as "the perfect home for your violin," as the artist explains:
"I fell in love with Bogaro&Clemente products, and after several weeks of work, discussions, and shared prototypes, the first product dedicated to Summer, to Music, to Vivaldi, and to life was born. We’ve thought of every detail to ensure the violin feels loved, cared for, and cherished!"

The “Seasons by Anastasiya” cases all come with:

• Shoulder straps for easy transport
• Hygrometer to monitor temperature and humidity
• Transparent string tube for storing strings at the base of the lid
• Protective cover
• Custom colophony by Anastasiya, with a dedicated compartment
• GPS satellite tracker

This collection was created following the release of Anastasiya’s album Amato Bene, published by Sony Classical and available both on CD and major digital platforms. The album is entirely dedicated to Antonio Vivaldi, featuring The Four Seasons and other works by the Maestro, including the Concerto RV 342, recorded for the first time in history.
