Handweaving an endless dialogue of colours
- • Clara is self-taught and motivated by her own vision
- • She revives and designs furniture and furnishings for the home
- • Her favourite fibre is polypropylene
Born in 1987, Clara Arpini is a young craftswoman with a cultural background in humanities. Completely self-taught, she transformed a precocious passion for weaving into a successful job, starting her own business in 2014. Merging traditional hand weaving techniques with a modern design approach, she creates furnishings and home accessories, such as chairs, stools, seats, coffee tables, lampshades and rugs, working directly on the structures in her workshop in Cassano d’Adda. In her creations the dialogue between colours is limitless, she embraces the richness of contrasts. “I love to put black with other colours: this way, everything is more stylish. And I feel challenged by the different clients’ tastes, when I get into their houses” she says.
