  • This prized stole is made with fabrics taken from the traditional local costume for women: orbace and black and shocking pink finely fashioned velvet on a green background, lined with damask silk decorated with floral motifs.

  • The thick decoration designed for this patestry made of cotton, silk and golden threads, is woven on a traditional handloom. The alternation of decorative bands and intertwined motifs feature flower vases and lapwings, the typical elements of the precious Sardinian hope chest covers.

  • This refined woollen carpet decorated with large rose motifs using the excellent tuttopieno (full-bodied) pibiones relief technique is rendered in a modern fashion thanks to the original choice of hazelnut against a brown background.

  • This cotton and Sardinia wool carpet is decorated with warm diamond-shaped mustard-coloured patterns, dyed with natural colours extracted from local plants.

  • The elegant decoration of this woollen carpet reproduces a design of the local tradition, the lily, realised in a harmonious mirror-effect composition with contrasting shades in blue, lilac and orange on a neutral background.

Il settore

The traditional textile industry offers a remarkable production, resulting from the mediation between history and traditional knowledge and the needs of contemporary living. The craftsmen working on the island – almost all of them pursuing family traditions, having been trained since they were children in the use of hand looms – now offer a very high quality production, full of archaic memories but, at the same time, featuring a modern design, a reinterpretation of the past to give new life to it. Nowadays, the textiles made in Sardinia feature a distinctive Sardinian character, the core element of Sardinian craftsmanship, but they also offer new shapes, models and materials with a strong and modern personality.
