The Barbagia collection has been designed by Serena Confalonieri and produced by Tessile M&Dusa during the designer's residency in Samugheo, Sardinia, on the occasion of ArtiJanus/ArtiJanas, a sperimental project promoted by the Sardinia region and Triennale Milano to stimulate the intersection between young designers and local craftsmen.The Barbagia collection consists of a series of textile elements in cotton, from pillows to rugs and carpets, made with a technique called "a pibiones", which is typical of the region. The decorative motifs recall the Sardinian heritage: nuragic bronze statuettes, myrtle plants and terracotta jugs. All the objects part of the Barbagia collection follow the weaving pattern of the Sardinian "bisaccia", which is a fabric bag used by shepherds and farmers when going to pasture. The initials of the designer and the weaver have been embroidered at the four angles of every object part of the collection.
