FAMILY LEGACY AND MATERIAL IDENTITY
The sole visit to our workshop is an immersion into Colombian tradition; an intimate glimpse of our country’s techniques, feats and passions. The artisans at work, the hand-built and recovered looms, the fiber weaving and the metal knitting, make for beautifully chaotic scenery. Across the street from this workshop, resting behind contrasts in an unassuming and industrial neighborhood in the city, also lies VERDI’S TREE OF LIFE.
“An encounter with the VERDI tree is nothing less than an immersion into cultural indulgence.” - Surface Magazine
The sole visit to our workshop is an immersion into Colombian tradition; an intimate glimpse of our country’s techniques, feats and passions. The artisans at work, the hand-built and recovered looms, the fiber weaving and the metal knitting, make for beautifully chaotic scenery. Across the street from this workshop, resting behind contrasts in an unassuming and industrial neighborhood in the city, also lies VERDI’S TREE OF LIFE.
The TREE OF LIFE began with an idea that emerged in 2013 when, traveling through Mexico with his mother, Tomás learned about the Mexican tree of life and the importance of the concept in many of the world's mythologies. After meditating on the idea for many years, he drew and projected the VERDI tree that would be built 5 years later as the new symbol of the studio in the center of the VERDI Showroom.
