Field Notes,
     a collection by StudioLandt,

explores the relationship between nature, craft, and material expression through sculptural textiles and furniture. 

Inspired by the monumental communal nests of Namibia’s sociable weaver birds.

The collection translates organic forms and layered structures found in nature into tactile, handcrafted pieces that celebrate texture, imperfection and natural fibres.

Rooted in traditional weaving and artisanal techniques, the collection reflects the intricate construction of these nests, transforming natural architecture into contemporary design objects.

At the heart of the material palette is,
     SWAKARA WOOL

Spanning sculptural wall hangings, textile artworks, and carpets, The Mill celebrates material exploration and the beauty of handcrafted design, reflecting StudioLandt’s commitment to craft, texture and contemporary African creativity.

Rooted in the landscapes
     of NAMIBIA,
