Short description

Discover the Crafted Threaded Tactile Tapestry Collective, an Urban Collection that redefines textile art for the modern metropolis, weaving together raw industrial inspiration with profound handcrafted warmth. Each piece in this limited series is a large-scale, immersive tapestry, but unlike any you've seen before—constructed not from traditional yarn, but from a curated palette of urban-sourced and upcycled materials, including braided industrial cable, supple reclaimed leather strips, textured hemp rope, and shimmering copper wire, all meticulously hand-stitched onto a reinforced canvas backing.

Introduction

Discover the Crafted Threaded Tactile Tapestry Collective, an Urban Collection that redefines textile art for the modern metropolis, weaving together raw industrial inspiration with profound handcrafted warmth. Each piece in this limited series is a large-scale, immersive tapestry, but unlike any you've seen before—constructed not from traditional yarn, but from a curated palette of urban-sourced and upcycled materials, including braided industrial cable, supple reclaimed leather strips, textured hemp rope, and shimmering copper wire, all meticulously hand-stitched onto a reinforced canvas backing. The result is a powerful, multi-sensory artwork that invites touch and contemplation, featuring abstract topographies and geometric patterns that echo the skyline, infrastructure, and vibrant, gritty energy of city life, transforming a blank wall into a focal point of texture, narrative, and sophisticated urban edge.

This collection is born from a commitment to sustainable artistry and community collaboration; every tapestry is a unique creation from our global collective of fiber artists, each interpreting the urban theme through their distinct cultural lens and local material availability, ensuring no two pieces are ever identical. The works are engineered for durability and impact, utilizing UV-resistant treatments and a structural hanging system that makes installation seamless, while the inherent variation in the upcycled materials means the piece will develop a subtle, beautiful patina over time, much like the cities that inspire them. Owning a piece from the Urban Collection means investing in a conversation-starting heirloom that carries the fingerprints of its maker and the story of its materials, championing slow design in a fast-paced world and bringing a tangible, human connection back into contemporary interior spaces.

Your support of this campaign is essential to launching the Collective's first official collection, providing stipends for our participating artisans, securing a reliable supply of high-quality upcycled materials, and funding a pop-up exhibition to bring these works to a wider audience. By backing us, you gain priority access to the entire Urban Collection with special pricing, the opportunity to commission a custom piece inspired by your own city, and the satisfaction of supporting a global network of craftspeople. Join us in weaving a new narrative for urban decor, one that celebrates the beauty of the used, the handcrafted, and the authentically tactile.
