The collection

Great flexibility in meeting the highly personal needs of the clientele characterises the production, which can be realised using many techniques thanks to the numerous and diverse looms available. Carpets of different sizes, bedspreads and fabrics for the bedroom, cushions, curtains, tablecloths and other coordinated cotton, linen, wool fabrics are crafted according to the pibiones relief technique and with geometric motifs known locally as a prialeddu, which are ideal for all the rooms of the house or for the bedrooms and common areas of accommodation facilities.
