Taroni Laboratorio Reimagines Textiles as Functional Art

Published on


Since 1880, Taroni has been synonymous with fine luxury silk, supplying haute couture ateliers and high-end fashion brands. This year, the Como, Italy-based textile house embraces the circular economy with Taroni Laboratorio, an initiative that reimagines discarded silk from the cutting room floor as vibrant home goods that bridge traditional craft and contemporary sensibilities. At its heart are floorcoverings born from a collaboration between Milan-based American artist Lillian Grant and Italian-Moroccan manufacturer Casa Amar that employ centuries-old Amazigh weaving techniques. In some, silk knots are painstakingly hand-tied onto fine wool warps—occasionally interwoven with wool fibers to temper the silk’s inherent sheen. Other pieces take a different approach: Premium silk remnants are sliced into ribbons and woven using the Boucherouite technique, a practice that emerged in the 1950s specifically for transforming repurposed textiles into functional art.
