This hanging stone by Fili was made for The Blue Moon Collection. Julia Villamonte picks up each stone herself on her walks in Italy and Denmark. She then weaves strands of abaca and rattan around it, dyed with natural colours. The woven fibres follow the shape of the stone and give it a soft, textile skin. Her technique brings together weaving traditions from the Philippines and Italy.

  • Material: hand collected stone, naturally dyed abaca and rattan
  • Size: 8cm x 11cm (incl. string)
  • Handwoven in Milan, Italy

Each stone has its own shape, colour and markings.

About the Artist / Designer / Brand

Fili – Weaved Hanging Stone – #8

Fili is the weaving and design studio of Julia Villamonte in Milan, founded in 2019. Villamonte was born in 1986 in Camarines Norte, in the Bicol region of the Philippines. Women from families with a long weaving tradition taught her the craft. She later trained in architecture and interior design and then moved to Italy. Plant fibres are at the centre of her work. She uses abaca and rattan from the Philippines, stems from the city of Milan and branches from southern Italy. She loops, knots and interlaces many strands into a form and joins these forms into larger objects.

Her pieces link the places she has lived with the crafts she grew up with. Each mobile, vessel or hanging stone is made by hand in her Milan studio.
