One of a kind hand-woven creations.
Costantini Atelier is a small studio of artisanal weaving based in Italy. The approach followed aims to highlight the exceptional value that comes from the interaction between hands and materials.
“Hand-weaving is a constant interplay of hands, threads, colours and shapes, it is a kind of language and a form of writing.
My choices are driven by the trust in analogue arts as a way to live the present, discover and innovate through the process of creation. Handloom weaving is a way to celebrate these guiding principles.”
Susanna Costantini
The wisdom of hands
“My great grandmother was a weaver. She used to cultivate, to spin linen threads, to dress the loom and then to weave for crafting sheet towels or fabrics to be used every day. I still have worn out rags and incredibly fresh linen sheets which are over 100 years old. The fascinating irregularities of hand-spun threads and the narrative of hand weaving is mesmeric. Those antique and textured fabrics keep on teaching and telling me about the wisdom of hands.
Hand weaving could be considered as an extreme analog practice nowadays but it’s like digital coding or a contemporary media language in some respects. Warp and weft are like a binary system and weaving offers endless possibilities of mixing materials and techniques. Weaving is also a way to explore visual art and communicate”.

The little leaf is the symbol that accompanies each woven creation.
Nature is a weaver
The crafting process of each creation is exclusive and unique and each weaving project starts by observing natural patterns and exploring how different yarns and materials work synergistically with one another.
