Traditional textiles.(ancient textiles)
Handwoven textiles can range from the homely to the highly sophisticated, but they add a human touch in our increasingly electronic homes. In the 1970s Sam Kasten set up shop in an evocative nineteenth-century stone building in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, to weave by hand household textiles that reflected traditional patterns and techniques. Using only the purest, finest raw silk, linen, mohair, or cashmere, which he has dyed specially for each project, he produces textiles that are one of a kind. His fabrics and rugs, often designed in collaboration with leading architects and designers, demonstrate all the best attributes of the finest handweaving--luxurious feel, rich but subtle coloring, and perfect scale.

Today Sam Kasten Handweaver has fifteen looms, but his output is clearly limited by his desire for perfection. At the same time, the demand for his textiles has grown as his reputation has spread. Recently, he joined forces with Suzanne Lovell, an interior designer, to create Twill Textiles, which produces a collection of sophisticated fabrics that resonate with all the authenticity of handweaving while being machine made.
