Urban Weave

A tactile study in contrast and material juxtaposition. The surface is a close‑knit collage of handwoven strips, small panels and inserts where dense warp and weft meet a variety of textured elements—short‑pile velvets, coarse weaves, jacquards and decorative ribbons. These differing surfaces introduce varied sheens and reliefs that counterpoint one another; light travels uniquely across plush, matte and structured patches, producing subtle shadows and a layered sense of depth.

Mounted visibly on a broad matte black passe‑partout and housed in a minimal black‑stained wood frame, the piece reads as a stitched relief map or miniature architectural façade. The pared‑back framing foregrounds materiality: irregular stitched joins, slight colour variations, selvedge details and hand‑finished edges all attest to manual making. Produced with Sardinian and locally sourced natural fibres and traditional techniques adapted for a contemporary vocabulary, every work is one‑of‑a‑kind. Ideal as an intimate focal accent in a study, hallway or gallery wall where texture and craft are central.
