Tufting Experience: Kilims from the Future

Nodo – Tufting Torino is an artistic collective that aims to renew and reinvent the traditional art of weaving, projecting it into the future and reintegrating it into our daily lives. The goal is to convey the essence of contemporary craftsmanship, bringing people closer to manual skills and the authentic value of objects through the most modern of textile techniques: tufting.

Inspired by the evocative patterns of kilim carpets, a millennia-old technique of knotting threads, Nodo dives into the rich fabric of textile history to bring new narratives to life.
Tufting becomes the ideal bridge to connect the past with the present, offering a tangible and immersive experience.
In this work, the intricate patterns of kilim carpets, with their deep roots and symbolic meanings, serve as a source of inspiration. In particular, the focus is on the symbol of fertility and femininity, which tells a story of prosperity and harmony with nature.
Through a performative creative act, the collective will bring to life a massive textile work, an installation that breaks the frame of the loom and propagates into the Graphic Days space.
