Description

Dune, an Italian tapestry of excellent craftsmanship. For its creation, Atelier Nuanda turned to one of the world’s most important textile craftsmen, Arazzeria Scassa, creating a unique piece of work.
The Arazzeria was founded in 1957 in Asti’s ancient Carthusian Monastery. Today, as in the past, skilful master weavers produce each Scassa tapestry using 17th Century looms. These works of art are testimony to an outostanding know-how handed down over the past two generations.

Thus a collaboration was born, a spokesman for the trades linked to the territory. A textile work created using the 16th Century masters’ traditional high heddle technique, mixing together yarns of different colours and shades, in the same passage as if it were a single thread, creating unique shadings and nuances. An artisanal manufacture, marked by slow process, where the attention given to preparing the loom, the gracefulness of manual gestures and the careful combination of colours and yarns give life to a product steeped in values of an ancient culture. The craftsmanship linked to the mastery of the works of Ettore Sottsass and other great artists of the 20th century, has given rise in over 65 years of history, to a vast archive of fine wool yarns from Biella. Material selected by the Atelier, for the creation of the project.

This weaving technique uses selected “Biellese Wool”. A fibre of extraordinary quality, zero-kilometre fibre, produced by sheep reared in Piedmont using the method of nomadic herding, based on the change of season and the rhythm of nature. A perfect blend of the different arts, a manifesto of man and his environment.

On the surface a longitudinal trace runs through the chiaroscuro nuances of the habitat impressing a fleeting outline, a sign of the passing of the nomad soul. Light and decisive, it faces the dunes that surround it, laying bare the umber earth that hosts its steps.

A one-of-a-kind tapestry, handmade with Biellese wool from over 65 years of history linked to the mastery of Ettore Sottsass’ works.

About Atelier Nuanda Visit Showroom →

Atelier Nuanda is a place where tradition and craftsmanship meet. Cecilia Rinaldi, designer and textile artist, founded the atelier with her husband in 2022 with an unconventional vision of design. The creative approach combines experimentation between different disciplines, a focus on design and craftsmanship: a vision in which the contemporary combines harmoniously with a past that is still alive, made up of ancient traditions and techniques. The atelier has developed an innovative leather processing technique, which enables the creation of light and original artefacts. From the weave, a new knitted textile structure is created: a leather weave that can be used as a supporting and decorative element at the same time, and is suitable as a base or covering for fashion accessories, furniture and decorative artefacts. The design process aims to promote the sustainable production of unique and commissioned pieces that combine functionality and design, through the theme of craftsmanship. In September 2024, the atelier won the third edition of the Starhotels Prize “La Grande Bellezza - The Dream Factory” award with the work Amphora. During its participation in the sixth edition of EDIT Napoli, in October 2024, the Plĭco divider received the award of the SEMINARIO section, as the winner for the best new product. In March 2025, the atelier has been chosen by AD Italia as on of the best emerging design studio of the year.
