Textura Studio

Author-driven textile & fabric design

Original textiles for interiors, fashion & bespoke projects

Textura Studio crafts original fabric designs and limited collections rooted in materiality and narrative. Each design begins with hand-drawn motifs, experimental dyeing, or woven samples that celebrate texture and tactility. We translate concept into repeat-ready patterns, sample yardage, and production-ready specifications tailored to designers, boutiques and interior studios. Sustainable fibers, careful colorways, and tested durability ensure that every textile performs as beautifully as it feels.

About the Studio — craft, concept, and material integrity

Textura Studio is an atelier where textile design is conceived as a layered practice: drawing, surface experimentation, and material selection converge into distinct fabric collections and one-off pieces. The studio was founded by an author-designer with a background in textile printing and woven techniques who values the tactile dimension of textiles as much as their visual language. Each project starts from research—historic patterns, local craft methods, botanical palettes—and moves through hand sampling (dye baths, stitch trials, weave drafts) into digital repeat development and production testing. We collaborate with independent ateliers, interior designers, and small fashion houses to create textiles that tell a story while meeting technical requirements: colorfastness, abrasion resistance, pilling standards and laundering performance. Sustainable sourcing is a core practice: where possible we prefer linen, organic cotton, Tencel, recycled yarns and low-impact dye processes. Bespoke commissions range from custom upholstery ranges and curtain collections to limited-edition scarves and artisanal fabric swatches for product launches. Every delivery includes technical sheets, recommended care guidelines, and a small sample kit to help clients make confident decisions about fit, finish, and maintenance.

Studio Advantages — why collaborators choose our textiles

Design-Led Authorship with Practical Spec

Each textile collection begins with an authorial concept: motif studies, layered textures and thoughtful color narratives. But authorship is paired with rigorous technical specifications—our designs are translated into production-ready files, weave cards, and print plates with tolerances suited to industrial processes. We balance creative intent with manufacturability: repeat scales, selvage planning, and fabric construction are all specified to ensure fidelity from sample to yardage. This fusion of creative authorship and technical rigor allows design teams to maintain aesthetic integrity while scaling to production quantities with predictable outcomes and consistent color control across batches.

Material Curation & Sustainability Stewardship

Material selection is central to our practice. We source fibers and substrates that prioritize durability, feel and lower environmental impact. Options include organic cottons with low-water dyeing, linen blends, Tencel and post-consumer recycled yarns suited for upholstery, drapery or soft furnishings. Each material is assessed for its lifecycle performance—washability, abrasion resistance, and end-of-life recyclability. For clients with explicit sustainability goals we provide impact summaries and guidance on certifications that can be referenced in product literature, helping brands make transparent claims and reduce ecological footprint without compromising tactile quality.

Small-Batch Agility & Limited Editions

The studio thrives on limited runs and small-batch production, enabling bespoke colorways, exclusive motifs and collector pieces that larger factories seldom accommodate. Small runs mean clients can test market responses with minimal upfront inventory, offer capsule collections, or commission interior ranges tailored to a single property or installation. Our workshop coordinates prototypes, short production cycles and careful finish control so that even reduced volumes achieve the standards expected of premium textiles—allowing designers and boutiques to operate with both creative freedom and consistent quality.

Hands-On Sampling & Prototyping Workflow

Rapid prototyping is part of our DNA—hand-dyed swatches, printed test panels and weave samples are produced as early tactile proof points. This hands-on approach allows clients to evaluate scale, hand, opacity and color in real materials before committing to production. Sampling cycles include clear feedback loops, documented color recipes and small lab charts to ensure predictable scaling to larger runs. For upholstery and heavy-use textiles, physical stress tests and abrasion evaluations accompany prototypes, preventing costly surprises during installation and guaranteeing that selected textiles perform in context.

Collaborative Process & Transparent Communication

We work as an extension of client teams: sharing mood boards, colorways, swatch sets and progress photos throughout development. Milestone approvals—concept sign-off, sample acceptance, production pilot—are established at project start to keep timelines predictable. Communication includes technical documentation, lead-time estimates and proactive updates about material availability. This collaborative rhythm supports designers, interior teams and buyers by aligning creative intent and procurement realities, reducing friction and ensuring projects reach delivery on-time with agreed quality.

Aftercare Guidance & Long-Term Support

Textile performance continues after installation: we provide detailed care instructions, recommended cleaning protocols, and advice for local maintenance to preserve color and minimize wear. For commercial clients, we offer maintenance schedules and replacement swatches for ongoing refurb cycles. Additionally, repair and patching strategies are documented for high-use settings, helping prolong textile life and reduce premature replacement. This long-term perspective both protects client investment and aligns with sustainable thinking by maximizing functional longevity of each fabric selection.

Studio Services — end-to-end textile solutions

Bespoke Pattern Design & Repeat Development

We develop original patterns—hand-drawn motifs, digitally layered repeats and tactile surface treatments—tailored to client briefs. The process includes sketch exploration, colorway proposals, and repeat engineering to ensure scale and alignment for printing or weaving. Deliverables include high-resolution repeat files, color separations, and technical notes for production partners. This service is ideal for brands seeking signature prints or cohesive collections that carry an identifiable visual language across product ranges.

Printing & Dye Technique Consultation

We advise on the best surface technique for each project—screen printing, rotary printing, reactive dye, pigment printing or digital inkjet—balancing color fidelity, fabric hand and production cost. Consultation covers Pantone mapping, dye migration mitigation, and finishing options such as softeners or protective coatings. For complex color layering we coordinate trials to refine recipes and ensure consistent outcomes across prints and fabric types.

Weave Specification & Mill Liaison

For woven textiles we produce weave drafts and technical specifications suitable for mills: yarn counts, sett, selvedge details and finishing regimes. We maintain relationships with selected weavers and mills capable of small-lot production and specialty constructions. Our role includes sample follow-through, pilot loom checks and finish approvals so the final yardage reflects both the intended texture and performance characteristics required for upholstery, curtains or soft furnishings.

Upholstery & Interior Fabric Ranges

We create curated upholstery ranges with performance-tested textiles: heavy-duty weaves, abrasion-tested finishes and colorfast treatments appropriate for hospitality and domestic interiors. Ranges include coordinated palettes, pattern scales, and recommended backing or interlining options. Samples come with technical datasheets documenting Martindale abrasion counts, lightfastness and cleaning recommendations to simplify specification and procurement for interior projects.

Sample Kits, Swatch Sets & Prototype Yardage

Sample kits are produced to evaluate real-world touch, drape and color. We assemble swatch sets with annotated color recipes and care notes alongside prototype yardage for small installations. These kits are invaluable for client approvals, showroom displays and pre-production testing, and they allow stakeholders to assess performance before committing to larger orders.

Education, Workshops & Collaborative Projects

The studio runs workshops for designers and students on pattern development, color theory applied to textiles, and hands-on dyeing and printing techniques. Collaborative projects with local craftspeople explore hybrid approaches—combining traditional craft with contemporary surface design—to generate limited-edition runs or installations. These programs encourage knowledge exchange and incubate fresh approaches to material-based storytelling.
