ARTWORKS
FOR INTERIORS
All items are totally handmade by Marta Barros, main fiberartist and founder of the project.
Welcome!
TEX MB is a Portuguese brand of handcrafted artworks for interior design and a project that I created in November 2016, after 9 years of working as a television producer.
I make exclusive wallhangings and fiberart pieces using the macrame ancient technique – wich consists of interweaving threads through knots. Each piece is unique and carries the marks of a work done entirely by hand. It implies a lot of involvement, and that’s why the brand couldn’t have another name than mine.
Tailormade Macrame
A unique macramé wallhanging, made especially for you and just the right size for that space you still have empty in your home, office or workplace. It is possible!

Reviews
''We commissioned Marta to create a bespoke piece of woven art for one of our clients Portuguese limited edition collection launches. Not only was Marta super professional, amazing communication and super talented at what she does but she went over and beyond for us and the client to ensure we were happy with the finished piece. She also joined us at the exclusive preview event in London where she showcased her piece of work and told our guests all about the process and inspiration behind it.
Everyone on the evening praised Marta for the amazing piece she had created. On behalf of the client and I - thank you Marta, you were amazing!''

``We have been working with Marta for several years now and we couldn't be happier with this partnership. All her professionalism, such as meeting deadlines, the rigor with which she makes the macramés and the extreme attention to detail means that all the work delivered to us has gone excellently and our clients have always been very satisfied.
We even have clients who continue to ask for custom-made pieces from Marta, even after our projects are completed. We would like to thank you for all your hard work and wish you all the best! :)``

``We’ve followed Marta’s work since its early days, so when we decided to design and build a signature metal staircase for our coworking space in the historic landmark Rossio Train Station in Lisbon, we immediately sought Marta to give it a soft, warm, organic and artisanal touch.
We couldn’t be happier with the end result and with Marta’s impeccable professionalism, ability to incorporate feedback, artistry and dedication to her craft. We’re counting the days until our next creative collab.``

``This letter is written in acknowledgment and gratitude to Marta Barros, who attended our 2023 artist residency program. As both a craftswoman and tutor, Marta was a tremendous addition to this year's residency.
The macrame workshop that Marta lead was the ideal opportunity for our group
of artists to learn a new craft, and to bond as a team. Marta is a wonderful teacher, who lead her workshop with passion, positivity, and patience.
We are extremely grateful to have worked with Marta Barros, and give our full support and recommendation to her.``

Macrame, a craft technique that uses knots to create textile patterns, is gaining ground in interior design – and it can be the perfect solution for transforming a holiday home. The trend, which combines rustic charm with modernity, is perfect for adding a personalised touch to rooms.

This piece came about as a result of a commission from an esteemed client, who one day surprised me with two antique beds. I, ignoring all the work that was to come, soon fell in love with them and accepted the challenge.
