Tartaruga

Tartaruga is a small weaving studio founded in Lodz, Poland in 2017 by Jadzia Lenart and Wiktoria Podolec. As conscious designers and craftsmen, they have decided to stand in opposition to the mass textile industry and all its consequences. That’s why all of their products are handmade with traditional tools and techniques.

On a daily basis, Tartaruga’s atelier creates handwoven contemporary kilims, rugs and wall hangings. They are one of the founders of NÓW. New Craft, which gathers contemporary Polish craftsmen.

Tartaruga means “a turtle”. It’s very slow but also unique and long-lived. The same words could be used to describe their kilims.
