The Banded Carpet by Pretziada Studio and Mariantonia Urru brings traditional Sardinian weaving into a contemporary narrative. Inspired by the graphic works of Eugenio Tavolara, this design blends a wool weft and cotton warp in a pattern that echoes mid-century contrast and artisanal precision. Part of the Heritage Collection, it connects historical technique with modern aesthetics for timeless impact.
Pretziada operates from a quiet edge of Sardinia where design becomes a tool for cultural preservation. Through close collaboration with local artisans, the studio reworks traditional forms into objects that carry the weight of land and history. This is not nostalgia, but a living process of translation. The collection reflects a deep respect for material, context, and craft. Explore work shaped by place and built to endure.
Rooted in Sardinian iconography, the Mannu Side Table features a striking juxtaposition of carved ash wood and sculpted local marble. Ambroise Maggiar draws inspiration from traditional furniture feet, symbolic forms historically used to protect and adorn. This piece combines artisanal handwork with geological richness, suitable for refined residential or cultural spaces.
The Ancas Credenza, designed by Chiara Andreatti and Pierpaolo Mandis, is a modern homage to the traditional Sardinian cassapanca. Crafted entirely by hand in Mandis' workshop, it features a solid chestnut structure with intaglio carvings and a top lid that opens, echoing historical forms with sculptural presence. Its layered chestnut and poplar wood construction ensures long-term stability and natural elegance.
Crafted from dense, untreated Sardinian cork, the Accanta Reading Table is part of a collection by Maddalena Casadei rooted in material honesty and local tradition. Inspired by makeshift field stools used in Sardinia’s agricultural past, its form is simple yet thoughtful. Produced in collaboration with Falegnameria Pisu, the piece brings warmth and utility.
Designed by Pretziada Studio and Pierpaolo Mandis, the 1946 Wall Cabinet reinterprets Sardinian building motifs through a modernist lens. The cabinet's oversized wooden panels echo ancient stone facades, while the sand-cast bronze handle nods to Nivola’s tactile sculptural processes. Both poetic and practical, this wall-mounted cabinet adds architectural weight and subtle symbolism to interiors.
The Nannai Chair by Chiara Andreatti and Pierpaolo Mandis reimagines a Sardinian classic, drawing from the wooden caned chairs found in rural homes across the island. Enlarged for comfort while preserving traditional proportions, the hand-carved chestnut frame is paired with a river reed seat, woven by hand using techniques passed down for generations. Decorative elements reference Sardinian weaving, pasta-making, and ancient talismans, bringing cultural richness into contemporary interiors.
Part of the Heritage Collection, the Allover Carpet by Pretziada Studio and Mariantonia Urru revives a traditional Sardinian motif found across the island. Woven with a Sardinian wool weft and cotton warp, its design features continuous patterns layered with contrasting colors, creating rich texture and depth.
The Bobboi Ziggurat Bed by Pretziada Studio and Pierpaolo Mandis pays tribute to Sardinia’s rich visual heritage through geometric form and symbolic carving. Crafted from solid chestnut hardwood, the bed features hand-shaped legs and rounded finials inspired by traditional zoomorphic and phytomorphic motifs. Named after a local dessert, its zigzag silhouette echoes the decorative cut of “coccias” ravioli from Santadi.
A meditation on Sardinian identity and prehistoric architecture, the Nuragic White Tapestry merges tradition and research. Designed by Roberto Sironi, the work features layered topographical imagery of nuraghe ruins and ancient migration routes, rendered in a handwoven blend of wool, cotton, and silk. Produced by Mariantonia Urru in Samugheo, it exemplifies the studio’s fusion of time-honored technique with contemporary design vision.
Pretziada Studio and Mariantonia Urru’s Allusion Carpet explores Sardinia’s textile legacy through form and restraint. Using the pibiones technique, patterns of plants and animals emerge in raised detail, referencing 19th-century bed covers. This handwoven piece, made from Sardinian wool and cotton, is a thoughtful addition to both modern and heritage-focused interiors.
This freestanding cabinet draws from Sardinia’s architectural language and the minimalist forms favored by Le Corbusier and Costantino Nivola. Designed by Pretziada Studio and built in collaboration with Pierpaolo Mandis, the 1946 Standing Cabinet features a sand-cast bronze handle and curved wood facades that soften its structural geometry. Its presence is both utilitarian and sculptural.
The Fùrca Bookshelf by Mimo Studio and Pierpaolo Mandis draws inspiration from Sardinian agricultural tools and prehistoric monoliths.
