Ideal fabrics for creating snug, cosy environments full of serenity and meaning

When we talk about décor, we aren’t simply referring to the appearance of a space but also to the stories and feelings the elements can evoke. Designed by the talented Nyra Troyce, this is exactly what the new Gancedo Milpa collection achieves. Rather than a mere textile line, Milpa is an homage to the cultural roots of Mesoamerica.

Each piece tells the tale of a profound connection to the land, the cycles of nature and hallowed traditions. Thanks to Troyce’s work, this collection not only beautifies but also conveys a message of respect, harmony and sustainability. Milpa serves as a constant reminder that each thread has a tale to tell and that each space can be transformed into a snug, highly meaningful haven.

Colours that connect with the land

One of Milpa’s most outstanding characteristics is its palette of warm colours, inspired by the natural beauty of Mexican soil. Cool shades of green, intense twilight oranges and deep ochres take centre stage in this collection. These shades, as well as lending beauty, are intended to reconnect the human being with nature, reminding us of the eternal cycle of the earth and respect for its rhythms. Blending these tones into any space is the perfect way of creating a cosy atmosphere that encourages us to relax and think deeply. Be it in a sitting room, a dining room or any other room, Milpa’s colours lend an aura of tranquillity.

The influence of roots

Each fabric in the Milpa collection has received a name carefully chosen to honour the elements that make up the milpa agricultural cycle, the traditional agricultural system of Mesoamerica. From Totomoxtle, alluding to the corn leaf, to Exotl, celebrating the bean pod, each piece is full of symbolism and meaning. Milpa also features fabrics such as Teocintle, in honour of the corn god, and Lluvia, which captures the life-giving freshness of the water that feeds the soil.

Through these symbols, fabrics convey a profound connection between nature and human life, an interdependence that encourages us to reflect on the relationship we cultivate with our surroundings. So, blending these patterns into our décor not only highlights the aesthetics of a space but also fills it with stories and the wisdom of the ages.

Textiles that last over time

Gancedo and Nora Troyce have come together to create a collection featuring toughness and durability, ideal both for indoors and outdoors. The collection is manufactured using top quality materials, such as polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PES), ensuring exceptional resistance to abrasion along with impressive fade proofing, retaining colour intensity even under exposure to sunlight. The waterproofing and flame retardant (FR) treatments that some of these fabrics incorporate guarantee that these textiles not only embellish but also offer practicality and safety. This makes Milpa the perfect option for creating practical, cosy atmospheres without sacrificing either style or quality.

Commitment to sustainability

Today more than ever, commitment to the environment is a priority. In this sense, Milpa stands out on account of its focus on sustainability. Many of the fabrics in the collection include recycled fibres and boast OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, which guarantees that products are free of harmful substances and have been manufactured to the highest sustainability standards. By choosing these textiles, we are also sowing the seeds of a more responsible future. Just as Nyra Troyce comments, each piece in the collection serves as an invitation to be part of this shift towards a world which is more engaged with and respectful of the environment.

Craftsmanship and authenticity at the heart of design

What really distinguishes Milpa is the authenticity of its design. Nyra Troyce has moved away from passing trends, opting for a timeless aesthetic that respects handcrafting processes and the quality of the materials. The collection not only reflects a profound respect for tradition and craftspeople, but also a commitment to excellence. Milpa textiles are manufactured using techniques that marry time honoured processes with technological innovations, ensuring durability and toughness. Ultimately, this collection is an invitation to value handcrafting, staying power and authenticity, in a world which often prioritizes the ephemeral. By integrating Milpa into your spaces, you’re not only choosing quality fabrics, but also opting for a more aware, respectful future.
