TA-DAAN Meet the artisan: a journey with Luiza Caldari | Textile Designer

  • Made in Brazil: Curated by Campana Brothers, 2020

    "Caldari is a textile and fashion designer from São Paulo with her own brand. Her colourful, organic, almost irregular tapestry and rug designs are fueled by colours and elements of the big outdoors. These are produced using manual tapestry, old weaving techniques, familiar workings on a loom and simple materials."

  • Alicia Scardetta for American Tapestry Alliance, 2019

    "It’s obvious that Caldari enjoys playing with the medium, as her tapestries range from large scale handwoven wall pieces to three-dimensional hand-tufted tapestries designed in collaboration with furniture and lighting designers."

  • DHG Dyeing House Gallery, Italy, 2024

    "Luiza Caldari, has really wowed us with the texture she brings to her textile art and her amazing use of colors. Her color combos might seem bold at first, but they always turn out to be super striking. They’re balanced, well-matched, and just beautiful to look at."

  • Natalie Mercer, Adorno Design, Danmark, 2024

    "Luiza Caldari’s dedication to textile art is deeply intertwined with her passion for creation and a desire to tell stories through her work. Her work on the 4-shaft floor loom combines the refinement of traditional craftsmanship with a modern perspective, prioritizing longevity and meaning over mass production."

  • Funem Studio, Antwerp, 2024

    "Caldari weaves stunning pieces with intricate details. The warm colors, rich textures and modern design come together to create a visual impact that can transform any space."

  • Joana Estellita, Boobam

    "Luiza Caldari faz parte da nova geração da tapeçaria na arte. A artista e designer têxtil têm uma produção autoral de tapeçaria de parede contemporânea. Cada peça é única e feita à mão. Ela acrescenta às peças uma gama ousada de cores, novos formatos e acabamentos. "
