Description

At Filanda n.18 we explore the narratives woven into textile crafts. Each collection is centred around a textile tradition and infused with inspiration from modern art, architecture and personal stories.

WHY FILANDA N.18

Filanda comes from filo or “thread” in Italian. Filande were spinning mills active between the 18th and 20th century in northern Italy. N. 18 is our founder Francesca’s family house number in Veneto, Italy. Part of the house used to be a Filanda and now it’s where our studio is based.

HOW WE WORK

Each collection takes approximately a year to bring to life. We start by studying the historical background of a specific textile tradition.We then work with selected master artisans across geographies to design the crafts components.

The journey ends in our studio in Italy where our collection is designed and assembled. We work with over 5 workshops for each collection - family-size manufacturers in northern Italy, women-run craft communities in India, lace restorers in Venice, ikat weavers in Margilan, Uzbekistan.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

SDGs being worked towards by the seller

Sustainability starts with recognizing that we live in a world of finite resources in which unbridled economic growth driven by personal profit is no longer possible. Continual growth is not good and bigger is not better, if it risks causing harm to the ecological and human systems.

Sustainability implies "sustainable development", an economic model that seeks to achieve a balance between satisfying the needs of the present population without compromising that of future generations.
