Threading Stories is a design studio working with textiles and clay, developing collections through material research, specialised making processes, and heritage craft practices. The studio focuses on experimentation, creativity, and high-quality production, collaborating selectively with clients across hospitality, interior design, architecture, and art agencies who value slow, considered, highly crafted design and an embodied narrative within each object.
