Made using 100% Italian linen in two “tela” or canvas weave structures, lighter finer version for the napkins with a heavier rustic version for the placemats and the runners. These very unique weaving structures are very soft yet strong and tactile, perfect for an informal yet elegant table setting. After hand sewing each item goes through a special dying and stone washing process to create the soft and weathered look resulting in a very unique effect with potential irregularities which makes each pieces distinctive. The Tela collections with its beautiful colours are perfect for everyday easy use, machine washable and elegant at the same time.

Design Inspiration

The Tela collection draws from the enduring language of Italian domestic life, where the table is both a daily ritual and a stage for beauty in simplicity. Rooted in the quiet strength of natural materials, this collection honours the legacy of linen: tactile, elemental, and historically intertwined with the rhythms of the home. Woven in Italy using 100% noble linen yarns, Tela employs two distinct canvas structures a lighter, more refined weave for the napkins, and a heavier, rustic version for placemats and runners. These contrasting weights echo the architectural logic of layering. Each piece is hand cut and sewn, then dyed and stone-washed in small batches to create a softened, weathered surface, revealing irregularities that speak to the hand of the maker. Like worn stone or sun-faded walls, no two are quite the same yet each bears the unmistakable clarity of form and purpose. Designed for the contemporary table but steeped in the warmth of memory, the Tela collection bridges formality and ease, precision and imperfection. It is, above all, a celebration of living well and of daily moments elevated by material honesty and quiet grace.

Artisanship

Crafted by skilled artisans who honour Italy’s textile heritage through time-honoured techniques, our Tela linens embody a legacy of quiet refinement. Each piece is woven from noble Italian linen yarns on vintage shuttle looms, yielding a textile rich in texture, strength, and character.

Balancing tradition with a contemporary sensibility, the collection explores colour and proportion through a modern lens informal yet elevated. A finer weave is selected for napkins, while a weightier, rustic canvas forms the foundation of placemats and runners.

Every item is hand-cut and sewn one at a time by our master tailors, then dyed and stone-washed to achieve a gently weathered patina. Subtle variations in tone and texture are to be embraced marks of the maker and hallmarks of the handmade. Rooted in craftsmanship and designed for modern living, the Tela collection brings understated elegance to the everyday table. Entirely hand made in Italy, each piece is finished with the greatest care, made to endure, and intended to be used again and again.
