Margo Selby Company Info

MARGO SELBY IS A RENOWNED BRITISH TEXTILE ARTIST AND DESIGNER. HER DESIGN PHILOSOPHY IS FOCUSED ON PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF WEAVING TO CREATE CONTEMPORARY STYLISH FABRICS FOR A RANGE OF TEXTILE APPLICATIONS, UNITING THE VERY BEST WEAVERS AND HIGH-QUALITY FIBERS TO PRODUCE BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED PRODUCTS.

Margo Selby is a celebrated textile artist, creating distinctive handwoven artworks that unite a modernist aesthetic with the depth and texture that is inherent in woven textiles.

Individually handwoven in Margo’s Whitstable studio the artworks are created using a technique called Lampas. Lampas was initially developed in the 17th century to weave decorative brocade fabrics. Margo is now using these weave structures in a new way to create abstract color studies with a modernist feel.

‘I’m interested in the relationship between man and machine, hand and industry, craft and technology. The disciplined nature of weaving provides limitations and constraints which can be pushed against. The orderly nature of the craft of weaving is reflected in the systematized designs.’
