Calendario Azteca Tapestry by Caralarga: A Revival of Tradition and Craft

The Aztec Calendar Tapestry is a testament to the art of transformation, a piece born from the principles of recovery, assembly, and renewal. As part of our "Recovered" Collection, this tapestry embodies the philosophy of giving new life to what might have otherwise been discarded. 

Crafted from 100% recovered raw cotton yarn, every thread in this 40" round tapestry carries a story of sustainability and creativity. The remnants from our large format pieces are carefully gathered, classified, and stored, awaiting their second chance to become something extraordinary. This process not only honors the materials but also the skilled hands that reimagine them into something valuable for our living spaces.

The tapestry's design draws inspiration from the rich symbolism of the Aztec calendar, weaving together history, art, and the natural beauty of cotton fibers. Mounted on a sturdy pine base and lined with a 100% cotton blanket, this piece is as much about quality as it is about aesthetics. 

The Aztec Calendar Tapestry is more than just a decorative item; it’s a symbol of sustainability and the enduring power of craftsmanship. It’s a celebration of what can be achieved when creativity meets conscious design, making it a truly unique addition to any interior. Let this tapestry grace your space with its presence, a reminder that beauty can be found in the art of recovery and transformation.

The Aztec Calendar Tapestry is part of the "Recovered" Collection, a collection of decorative pieces based on the principles of recovering, assembling and transforming.

We recover, classify and store the remnants of the cotton thread used in the production of our Large Format pieces for eventual reuse. We transform raw materials that would be discarded under “normal” production circumstances, giving them an opportunity to give life to decorative pieces destined to inhabit our interior spaces.
