Founder of the decoration shop Meridiana, first in Cádiz and later in Madrid, and passionate about India, Rocío Moreno has just designed and produced her latest collection of tapestries and brocaded silks in the Asian country. With the help of Sribhas Supkar, an expert in local textiles, Rocío discovered the perfect looms to make her designs come true. An exquisite reality. Located in the north of India, its craftsmen make wonderful fabrics from the fifteenth century under the almost mystical spell of silk. Formerly for the Mongol Empire, now for the Dalai Lama and the Napalí royal family. And also for Rocío, who enjoys seeing how her designs take on color and body with millenary techniques.

“When I discovered the looms, I was fascinated by the quality and texture of their silks, until then they only produced fabrics with traditional designs, and that’s why I decided to create a totally new collection using Ottoman motifs, giving it modern shapes and colors”. Why did you go so far to look for inspiration and objects for your store? “I was always attracted to the Orient, for trips and special pieces, when I decided to live by what I really liked creating the Meridiana store.”
