Born in Rome and growing up in an arty family environment, Livia Crispolti fell in love with handlooms at an early age and gradually became not just a renowned textile designer but also one of the most authoritative experts in this field. Professor at the Sapienza University of Rome and at the Brera Academy of Milan, she opened two twin workshops equipped with handlooms in Rome and Milan, where she experiments with the infinite potential of the ancient craft of weaving. She creates unique pieces or small series with her brand Livia Crispolti Tessuto a mano, develops prototypes for the fashion industry and collaborates with other artisans and artists to investigate techniques and self-expression, like musicians, because “every thread is a note, and the possibilities to combine them are countless”.
