Kultavilla - Custom Woven Fabrics

We provide small series of individual fabrics woven at our workshop in Lohja, Finland.

Design and product development

We prototype and develop new products in close cooperation with our clients. We can plan the production of the fabric and estimate the costs.

We use Dornier rapier weaving machines, suitable for custom orders using various fibres and yarns. We also supply the materials.
