COLLECTIBLE DESIGN
Our art pieces enable and elevate VERDI’s creative process by granting it emotional ingenuity and freedom. Under the creative direction of Tomás Vera, our design lab and design team are constantly experimenting with traditional techniques and rare materials. Through a connection with craft, Tomás envisions unique, conceptual, hand-woven pieces that have been exhibited across the globe. The process behind each of these pieces is an always personal and poetic endeavor; an intimate reflection of an artist’s mood and our country’s symbolism.
