Heritage Craft and Contemporary Design
Taller Tarapacá’s design has a strong focus on material and craft, combined with clean, architectonic lines and a minimal esthetic. Their design combines heritage craft with contemporary designers. The first exhibition features chairs such as the Silla de Pie by artist Miguel Andrade Valdez and architect Diana Ortega Garagatti, The Edilberto Chair by Ortega Garagatti, together with designer Paula Cermeño León’s Bodegon ceramics and woven carpets designed by Miguel Andrade Valdez. The showroom will also host pop-up shows of artists and artisans. For the opening March 2023, artist Miguel Andrade Valdez is showing a set of water color drawings that inspired a line of wall hangings. During its opening hours, the showroom welcomes walk-ins to take a closer look at and to order Taller Tarapacá‘s sculptural designs, and it is also open by appointment for groups, design lovers and buyers of interior design.
