Meet the Artist: A Conversation with Giorgia Soutache and the Value of Contemporary Craftsmanship
Every Friday at Aquarium Sardinia in Torre Delle Stelle, Meet the Artist comes to life. This event was created to share the stories and craftsmanship behind the works featured in our AQ Boutique. It is not just an exhibition, but an opportunity for genuine dialogue between creators and visitors, aimed at highlighting the value of handmade creations and personal vision.
On July 18th, our guest was Giorgia Soutache, an artisan who shared her creative path and the meaning behind her work in a live interview conducted by Matteo Angioni, manager of the boutique by Aquarium. Giorgia describes herself first and foremost as a craftswoman, emphasizing how her passion for working with her hands is the heart of her practice. Her inspiration often comes from colors. Each creation begins with a color combination that guides her in selecting materials and shaping forms.
A hallmark of her style is the use of soutache, a traditional technique that Giorgia has reinterpreted in a unique way. Unlike many artisans, she does not work with assembled parts but uses a single continuous thread, shaping it into symmetrical and geometric forms. This method requires great precision and patience, making every piece unique. Giorgia discovered soutache by chance in Genoa after a flood led her to rescue old haberdashery stock. Since then, the soutache cord has been at the center of her creative exploration.

Giorgia does not follow any particular models. Her only reference points are symmetry and harmony. She loves imagining the women who will wear her pieces, designing objects that carry meaning and evoke a sense of surprise. Her clients appreciate the personality of her creations, their originality, and the unexpected details that make each piece special.
For Giorgia, Torre Delle Stelle is the perfect place to create and find inspiration. The light, tranquility, and authentic atmosphere of the village fuel her creativity. She sees Aquarium Boutique as a true point of reference, a place that values craftsmanship and offers a curated and welcoming environment where every piece finds its place.
The conversation with Giorgia Soutache perfectly captured the spirit of Meet the Artist. It is about giving voice to those who work with passion, fostering connections between creativity and community, and enriching Torre Delle Stelle with a series of events that strengthen the bond between craftsmanship, culture, and the local area.
