Neò was founded in 2007 when ceramist and designer Rosanna Contadini discovered an exciting new material: neoprene thread, a soft and flexible fiber that, when woven, creates silky and velvety pieces. Neò’s timeless contemporary designs are meticulously hand-knotted according to traditional techniques, woven into interior pieces, accessories, and jewelry fit for all decor styles. Neò pieces are on display in several museum stores and design shops worldwide.

Neo was born in Rome in 2007, when Rosanna Contadini, a designer in search of new materials, discovers the neoprene thread in a hardware store, and creates soft and silky products, flexible and pleasant to the touch, in contrast with the robust appearance and the intense color of the material. Using the best quality of thread produced in Italy, Rosanna Contadini realizes refined objects for the home and bags that are crocheted, woven on a loom or simply woven and knotted by hand.

Shapes taken from nature and everyday objects, collected during travels around the world, have inspired the design of each piece, blending elegance and strength in a contemporary aesthetic. The philosophy of Neo is centered on the creation of exclusive, timeless objects destined to last and easy to maintain.Each piece is entirely made in Italy based on the skill and experience of a group of local artisans.
