Textile & Design Handmade in Italy
Ozio Piccolo Studio Tessile was born from an idea by Simone Falli, a Tuscan weaver and designer born in 1988.
Growing up among the looms and yarns of his family’s workshop, Simone gained various experiences abroad, exploring fields ranging from restoration to video art. At 21, he decided to return to his hometown, nestled between the hills of Siena and Florence, to embark on his own journey in hand weaving.
For ten years, under the expert guidance of his uncle, he refined traditional techniques in the family workshop, enriching his education and developing a deep understanding of the craft. In 2019, driven by a desire to innovate and experiment with new techniques, he founded the brand Ozio Piccolo Studio Tessile, where he creates fabrics and accessories with a minimal yet refined design.
Simone's philosophy is based on a careful approach to environmental sustainability and respect for creative processes. Each creation is entirely handmade on wooden looms that he designs and builds, using only high-quality natural yarns such as linen, wool, and cashmere.
Handcrafted wooden looms
Designed and built by Simone, the studio currently has three artisanal looms. In the photo, the latest addition is visible, equipped with 16 shafts, created to ensure even more versatile processing.
His journey, always in search of new inspirations, has led him to collaborate with numerous artisans, architecture firms, and designers.
Simone is also a member of the Coordinamento Tessitori (National Weavers Association), part of the editorial team of the magazine Tramando, and actively participates in the organization of the Textile Arts Fair, held by the Associazione La Fierucola.
