Aracne carpet
The artefact
Rhombus modules taken from an ancient design reinterpreted according to the distinctive style of the Su Trobasciu workshop are woven into the elegant geometric composition of this carpet in natural white Sardinian wool with the semipieno (half bodied) pibiones relief technique. The carpet can be customised in size and in the ever-changing details.
