Handmade in Tuscany
Ozio Piccolo Studio Tessile was born from an idea of Simone Falli, a Tuscan weaver born in 1988. After working for years in the family workshop, where he learned the basics of the trade, he decided to found his own brand. Thus he begins by designing and building a manual wooden loom that allows him to create fabrics with a refined design: in September 2019 his project takes shape.
He immediately made the choice to use only fibers of natural origin for his creations, he also decided to diversify the offer by creating fabrics to be used in small collections of accessories for both the person and the furniture.
Making a craft that has its roots in tradition contemporary leads him to refine a simple and essential taste, giving life to fabrics with a minimal design, worked on a manual loom, mainly in twill and canvas, exploiting some of their variations. Attention to detail, thoughtful presentation and sustainable ethics are integral to his work.
