Sustainable tapestries made from organic cotton. Made in Venezuela.
In addition to developing designs for several Mama Tierra collections, Patrizia Stalder commissioned the transformation of two of her private illustrations into impressive tapestries that showcase our expertise in this complex craft. Since 2019, Patrizia has been working with the Basel-based advertising agency Yellow and the traditional brand Doetsch Grether to produce four beautifully designed limited edition tin boxes each year.
These tin boxes have become icons, combining commercial appeal with artistic integrity.
Our collaboration has not only allowed us to showcase the skill and craftsmanship of our artisans in tapestry making, but also to transfer Patrizia's designs for Grether's pastilles to a new medium, giving them a unique texture and depth.
Here are the tapestries for the “Aescher” and “Lake Lucerne” designs.
