AES COLLECTION
A limited collection born as a new way of understanding VERDI’s materiality. In AES, our different materials do not intertwine with each other, but instead overlap and generate more linear and contemporary dynamics, aimed to translate balance, harmony and purity.
Our rugs are entirely custom-made, crafted to fit your unique vision. Contact us below to start your bespoke order.
THE CREATION PROCESS
A SPIRITUAL UNION OF NATURAL FIBERS AND INDUSTRIAL METAL ACCENTS
This Collection uses ethically sourced alpaca, plantain fiber and solid bronze through bold lean lines, to explore a dialogue between geometry and industrialism, presenting balance, harmony and purity. While the pieces are visionary in concept, they are functional in application. This artistic approach to design is an integral element of VERDI´s practice.

The AES collection combines solid brass plates with luxurious alpaca wool, creating a striking balance between metal and soft fibers. Alpaca wool’s smooth, refined finish adds a distinctive softness to indoor rugs, comparable to high-end materials such as cashmere and silk.
TOMÁS VERA
words of the artist
If there’s something that has been well discussed over the past year is how, challenging times, also bring evolution. And how, in times of crisis, creativity flourishes.
In my case, the personal and professional difficulties that prevailed during the first months of the pandemic, forced me to question myself and actively seek for new creative angles out of a genuine desire for change. I wanted to continue being faithful to VERDI’s iconic reinterpretation of contemporary and traditional, and to our inherent mix of fibers and metals, but through a new concept that would ideally feel more in tune with the stillness, the self- confrontation, the new meanings of connection, and this need for reinvention that these times have brought. AES was born, and with it, a new way of understanding VERDI’s materiality. This time, our different materials do not intertwine with each other, but instead overlap and generate more linear and contemporary dynamics, aimed to translate balance, harmony, and purity.
