  • This table runner in cotton and linen realised using the handloom, has detailed decorations of birds and seedlings taken from traditional weaving and crafted according to the relief technique locally known as a beltighitta, and more generally known as pibiones.

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

  • Fine loom woven linen curtains with relief decorations featuring the traditional motifs of roses and arches. They stand out for the careful finishing touches that are made exclusively by hand with hemstitch and gigliuccio, distinctive features of the workshop.

  • The decoration of this large carpet in natural white wool revives the ancient local textile motif of the stylised peacock, repeated in the harmonious tone-on-tone composition with reliefs crafted according to the traditional pibiones technique on a finely striped background.

  • Campiture di colori a contrasto in vuoti e pieni su struttura geometrica ben definita suggeriscono richiami artistici lontani dalla tradizione locale, resa invece esplicita dalla fedele riproduzione dell'elegante motivo is arrampus e della tecnica di manifattura a pibiones.

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.
