Tappeto Uccello a cinque code

Il grande modulo di un uccello stilizzato caratterizza il disegno asimmetrico e minimale del tappeto, di cui i richiami alla tradizione seguono elaborazioni aggiornate e contemporanee.

Runner Bertula

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.

Tappeto Portospino

This large carpet in Sardinian wool featuring the juxtaposition of numerous bright colors draws inspiration from the fressade, blankets of the textile tradition of Nule, renowned for the wide range of colors and geometric patterns.

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.
