Memory that becomes fabric, a future taking shape.
Lyria is a textile company founded in Prato in 2002 through the encounter between Riccardo Bruni and Nino Cerruti, in a district that has been renewing materials into new life for centuries. Its story weaves together memory and vision: an Archive that preserves traces like a Wunderkammer, and a Laboratory Factory that produces industrial textiles with a soul. The world’s leading maisons have chosen Lyria’s fabrics to tell their stories, united by a shared appreciation for the beauty of imperfection.

Riccardo Bruni, creative soul and traveler of the textile world
Founder of Lyria, he grew up among the looms of Prato and developed a vision that bridges technique and poetry. Described as a “textile chef,” he creates infinite recipes from the same ingredients, guided by the wabi-sabi philosophy: imperfection as uniqueness. He collects memories and fragments that become living matter in his fabrics.

“The Lyria idea of beauty is not measured by perfection, but by the imperfection that makes every creation one of a kind.”
- Experimentation
Every fabric begins as an act of research. Lyria sees the Factory as a laboratory, a place where matter becomes language and every thread becomes a possibility for invention.
Learn More - THE BEAUTY OF IMPERFECTION
True beauty does not lie in perfection, but in the imperfection that makes every creation unique. Lyria fabrics are created with an already lived-in soul carrying with them traces of time and memory.
Learn More - Harmony
The balance between industry and culture, between memory and future, between roots and a global vision is the hallmark that makes Lyria’s fabrics distinctive and unique. - RESPONSIBILITY
For Lyria, responsibility is a foundation: every choice reflects ethics and the future, because beauty cannot exist without responsibility.
Learn More - TIMELESS VALUE
Each creation holds a trace meant to endure: a heritage of memory, research, and responsibility that moves through the seasons without fading.
A journey through textile memory and future horizons.
The creative journey of Riccardo Bruni goes hand in hand with the construction of a private collection of more than 10,000 garments and objects from around the world: military clothing, costumes, traditional attire, books, works of art. An immense source of inspiration 
The Factory is both a physical and symbolic place, a finis terrae from which every journey toward new possibilities begins. Not only a site of production, but a space where work elevates people.
Factory Laboratory
Lyria collaborates with major film and theater productions, providing fabrics for sets and costumes in international films, series, and performances. It is a living dialogue between materials and imagination, where collaboration with costume designers, set designers, and production companies turns fabric into narrative. Textile Library: memory becomes future
Lyria’s Archive is a Textile Library of more than 30,000 samples, fragments, and objects that together form a unique heritage. It is a living place where material and memory meet, generating new possibilities. Open to designers, students, and researchers, it preserves textile heritage as an industrial and cultural resource to be shared.
