Banded Carpet is a tribute to the Sardinian designer Eugenio Tavolara who immersed himself in the study and promotion of Sardinian textiles in the 1920’s. It visually refers to the contrasting designs he made for the island’s weavers in the 1960’s. Banded Carpet is one of four designs that make up the Heritage Collection. This ongoing research project by Pretziada & Mariantonia Urru focuses on cataloguing and reproposing classic motifs from Sardinian weaving history. Adapting these designs to today’s production capabilities and color schemes, the collection reintroduces traditional, historical pieces and tells their stories.
