Catarina Riccabona

London, England

Catarina studied Textile Design at Central Saint Martins, London, then specialized in hand-weaving. She loves working with her hands and enjoys the flexibility and last-minute changes that are possible when weaving by hand.

She makes one-off pieces for interiors, mainly throws and blankets, using selected natural yarns. Each piece is highly individual. This distinct identity is created by an intuitive and observing way of working, allowing the design to form spontaneously while weaving at the loom. Each piece is also characterized by the slight irregularities typical of making by hand, like a natural selvages.
