First edition · Madrid Design Festival
The programme begins with textile surplus as a starting point for collectible creation, connecting material research, craft memory and invited creators through a contemporary curatorial framework.
Conceived by Marta Valea, Vasijas Tejidas is an evolving cultural programme that transforms surplus materials into collectible objects through collaborations between brands and invited creators.
Inspired by the Mediterranean as an ancient network of exchange — materials, techniques and knowledge moving between cultures — the programme revisits inherited craft traditions through a contemporary lens, creating new cultural value from what already exists.
Each edition begins with what already exists: a material, a production remnant, a craft memory or a body of knowledge. Marta Valea brings together brands and selected creators to transform that starting point into new collectible objects, material narratives and cultural value.

Presented within the context of SURES, Vasijas Tejidas extends its conversation around Mediterranean culture, collectibility and the contemporary relevance of handmade knowledge.
Vasijas Tejidas is conceived as a long-term platform for research, collaboration and creation. New editions can begin with different materials, territories, ancestral techniques or cultural narratives — and develop into objects, exhibitions, conversations and new forms of encounter.
