  • This cotton carpet with relief hand-made tone-on-tone motifs features grapes and shoots inspired by Sardinia's weaving tradition, with good luck purposes. Crafted with the local pile-on-pile semipieno technique, it suits any classic or modern setting.

  • The tapestry with the fairy tale of the goat is a heartfelt dedication to the artist Maria Lai, designed by the Su Marmuri weavers and given to the artist for her ninetieth birthday in 2009.

  • This carpet is woven on a vertical handloom with the wicker weaving technique, characterized by the traditional Pintura bindighi lunas e calighes (15 moon and goblet pattern) technique. This artefact features an ethnic taste and the colours of the traditional model.

  • The traditional saddlebag is crafted with an exclusive chromatic choice featuring stark contrasts, geometric decoration typical of the iconographic tradition of Aggius, finely combined so as to create striking aesthetics.

  • The prized table runner in Sardinian wool faithfully revives the saddlebag used for special occasions by skilfully combining stripes and stylised figures, reinterpreted with a striking stylistic trait that tastefully and originally evokes the identity of the island.

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.
