Artist Bio
Mourne Textiles was founded in the foothills of the Mourne Mountains, County Down, by Mario Sierra’s grandmother, Norwegian textile designer, Gerd Hay-Edie. Her iconic textile designs and pioneering weaving techniques became a staple of mid-century British design and collaborations with Robin Day, Hille and Conran, established her lasting influence upon the world of weaving.
Mario Sierra is proud to share his grandmother’s passion for weaving and continue the Mourne Textiles legacy from the original mill in Rostrevor. Today, Mourne Textiles connects the designs of the past with modern influences, to create a collection of luxury home furnishing fabrics, cushions, blankets and scarves. They continue to champion the beauty and community of their surroundings and combine this with their respect of craftsmanship, artistry and design excellence.
