Adriana Meunié weaves Mallorcan materials into tactile tapestries
Adriana Meunié is a Mallorcan artist who makes large-scale tapestries from local fibres using traditional weaving methods. She studied fashion design in Barcelona and later became focused on textiles and material provenance after encountering raw wool in 2014. Her work will be shown at PAD London 2026 with Sarah Myerscough Gallery.
Adriana Meunié grew up in Cala Llombards and studied fashion design at BAU in Barcelona before textiles became her main expressive language. A 2014 encounter with unprocessed wool inside a rural outbuilding shifted her focus toward material origins and the people and processes behind them.
She builds large woven works from Mallorcan plant fibres such as carritx, esparto, sisal, linen, estopa and old esparto rope. Her tapestries, which balance calm with unease, will appear at PAD London 2026 with Sarah Myerscough Gallery.
Meunié’s focus on local fibres and diminished weaving knowledge could draw wider attention to Mallorca’s craft heritage, potentially benefiting artisans, shepherds and farmers tied to these materials. Viewers at PAD London 2026 may encounter textiles as carriers of place and provenance, which could influence collecting and design tastes. However, such visibility may not automatically sustain traditional practices; its impact depends on whether audiences and institutions value the skills and communities behind the work.
