  • This large original carpet in Sardinian wool reinterprets, in a modern key, one of the most common motifs of local textile iconography, the flower with eight petals, designed in asymmetric composition and of contemporary taste.

  • The abstract decoration of this large carpet made of Sardinian wool is knotted and finished with artisanal mastery in uneven colours and graphic lines.

  • It is inspired by the local traditional wooden chests, decorated following the intaglio technique, with a personal interpreteattion of  the Chimeras motif, applied to the compositional taste of the central module and in the laeral borders of the large rug.

  • Refined hand-woven black and white table strip with a small diamond-shaped geometric pattern, a ramu weaving technique, and decorative frills with good luck vine-shoots and grape bunches, sa mostra e s’axia, woven with silver threads on a black field.

  • This carpet in Sardinian wool features distinctive lively polychrome decorations combining textile modules taken from tradition and designs by the designer-artist Eugenio Tavolara, especially developed in the fifties for the village of Bolotana.

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.
