MADDALENA’S ELEGANT DESIGNS WEAVE ONE THREAD THAT CONNECTS THE TRADITIONAL AND THE CONTEMPORARY. HER WORK EXPRESSES A SPECIAL ALCHEMY OF COMPLEX, SUBTLE COLOR COMBINATIONS AND EXTRAORDINARY TEXTURES.
Our textiles are unique because they are creations that incorporate and respect a lineage of long traditions. Drawing upon founder Maddalena Forcella’s roots, Madda Studio elegantly melds Italian design sensibility with traditional Mexican artisanal techniques and materials to produce works of beauty and refinement.
From sheep to spindle to showroom floor, the creative process reveals the innate beauty of handspun wool, natural dyes and innovative approaches to traditional weaving and felting techniques. Each piece honors the hands that have touched it. Our work celebrates the uniqueness and non-repeatability of handmade textiles, embracing the idiosyncrasies of the material and the artistry in every detail.

The weaving itself takes place in the weavers' homes in the states of Oaxaca and Chiapas, supporting family cohesiveness and helping to preserve local cultures and ways of life.
