Studio Pratha is an experimental creative hotbed born in 2017 from an intuition of Graziella Carta, founder and creative director of the group. Welcoming inspirations from visionary designers and eclectic artists, Studio Pratha reinterprets in a contemporary key, a refined weaving technique with a thousand-year history, now practiced only in the village of Sarule.

The execution phase of the tapestries remains firmly anchored to the heart of Barbagia, where the master weavers create the Pratha works using exclusively Sardinian sheep’s wool and working on the traditional vertical loom, totally manual: faithful to an extremely complex and precious executive specification, they create only a few centimeters of product per day, working with two or four hands.

The creative phase instead crosses island and national borders, opening up to new collaborations who bring Studio Pratha tapestries to international museums and galleries. Although ranging between various styles and inspirations, Pratha’s works move mainly in the dimension of abstractionism with a conceptual imprint, but there is no shortage of experiments in the figurative field, including the recent tribute to Guernica Tessere la Pace, born from the collaboration with the MAN Museum of Nuoro.

Today, design and high craftsmanship intertwine on Studio Pratha frames, in a continuous experimentation that fully fits into the contemporary artistic panorama.
