Metal Textiles: Innovation in Colombian Design

At VERDI, we redefine what textiles can be by weaving metals like copper, stainless steel, silver, and gold with natural fibers such as fique, alpaca, and silk. This unique blend creates luxury textiles that are durable, luminous, and unlike anything else in contemporary design.

A Legacy of Innovation

This technique was pioneered by Carlos Vera Dieppa, who became internationally recognized for combining metals with fibers in a way that transformed traditional weaving. Today, VERDI continues his vision, pushing the boundaries of craft while preserving its soul.

Why Metal Textiles?

• Durability – stronger, longer-lasting rugs and textiles.

• Light Interaction – shimmering effects that change with the time of day.

• Versatility – applied in rugs, headboards, wall panels, and art pieces.

Crafted in Colombia

By intertwining metal with locally sourced natural fibers, VERDI creates sustainable, handwoven textiles that celebrate Colombian heritage while introducing a new language of design to the world.
