Bottega Intreccio is a distributed workshop which takes advantage of the traditional know-how of the Marche region in traditional weaving to create furnishing accessories and objects of contemporary design. The workshop was born in 2014 but its origins date back to the 1960s when Giuseppe Maurizi, one of the oldest craftsmen started to use his skills usually applied for making baskets or bags, to indoor and outdoor furnishing in wicker and bamboo, thus giving new vitality to this ancient tradition. In 2014 Carteca Scuola Intreccio was founded with the intention of teaching the younger generation these traditional and ancient skills which risk dying out.
Bottega Intreccio is the story of non-urban or country knowhow transformed into a company, and an ancient tradition that has renewed itself in a contemporary key.

Bottega is an excellent example of contemporary regeneration of the art of woven artefacts. A union of craftsmanship and digital communication positioning its products in an international prestigious panorama. Especially interesting is their collaborative experimentation with young Italian designers.

The medieval village of Mogliano, in the gentle hills of the Marche region has a centuries-long weaving tradition not only in wicker but in any manually woven materials. Bottega Intreccio is at the centre of a network of small, traditional workshops spread around the village, each one specialised in a certain type of work and producing everyday objects and even exclusive artefacts: bags, containers, panels, lamps, furniture and baskets, all things commonly found in the home. After a period of decline with the advent of plastic used for these everyday objects, the value of handwoven objects has recently been rediscovered by leading fashion and design maisons and which has also favoured the use of new materials. Today in Mogliano the younger generations have returned to the workshop and so tradition continues its evolution through design. Bottega Intreccio also collaborates with Hands on Design to produce a series of non-traditional objects created by the hands of master weavers.
