Hi there!

First of all, we would like to apologise to all users of IK’s digital service that during this month we had technical problems with our website, which for a few days was difficult to access. Ironically, the reason was that one of our security systems that protect our digital systems have decided to limit its communication with our servers. Anyway, the error has been fixed, and all departments are now fully operational and steam on as usual, with users around the clock from all over the world!

A completely different world is the one that deals with gardens, historical ones that were described in the 18th century by the eternally travelling Linnaeus Apostles. In two brand new articles in the iTEXTILIS essay collection, we travel back to gardens in Asia, the Eastern Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Here the reader meets a world between practical thinking, art and curiosity, these beautiful images speak for themselves, and we wish you a good read about a bygone world.
