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.
