Casalis Beiras Carpet
BEIRAS CARPET
BEIRAS CARPET
Designed by Liset van der Scheer & Onno Raadersma
Authentic, traditional, and unmistakably European.
They are pleasantly thick, offering extra comfort for your feet because they are also very dense at the surface. The Beiras collection with its eye-catching designs in a wide range of colours, is a declaration of love for the traditional Southern European crafts and an asset for any interior.
DESIGNERS
DESIGNER - LISET VAN DER SCHEER
After graduating from the Design Academy in Eindhoven she has been working as an independent industrial textile designer and colour expert. 'The importance of designing to me lies in marketing a product that adds to the identity that the consumer wishes to convey at a particular moment in time. In my designs, the challenge lies in applying traditional materials in an innovative way, or in applying new materials to an existing production process. I always try to stretch the bounds of possibility. Looking at colour has become my second nature, and in building designs, be it textiles or carpets, the starting point is always the expression of the yarn'.
ONNO RAADERSMA
Producing designs is more than just a job for the Dutchman Onno Raadersma. It is his talent and his passion. This is obvious from the highly graphic nature of his designs that combine a penchant for light Scandinavian design with a fascination for traditional shapes and the use of hand-drawn and floral motifs. His graphically ornamental designs, therefore, exude an unmistakably contemporary feel. It is hardly surprising that many manufacturers and stylists at home and abroad are keen to engage him as often as they can. But that does not stop him going his own way: he set up MO-Studio with Rotterdam photographer Magri Geerlinks and he also regularly exhibits his own collection at design fairs in Belgium, Germany, France and Italy, and beyond.

COLOURS
DEVIATIONS TO SIZE AND SHAPE
Because Casalis carpets are made by hand, slight deviations in shape and size can occur. These imperfections are part and parcel of a carpet made by hand and consequently cannot be valid grounds for complaints.
CRAFT & MATERIALS
HAND KNOTTING
These carpets combine the centuries-old art of handknotting from the Beiras region of Portugal with modern materials, colours and patterns. In 2021 the production transferred from Portugal to India.
MIX WOOL
In some collections, materials from several sources are used to obtain a stronger yarn. Special blends from New Zealand wool and European wool ensure an optimum combination of elegant gloss, brilliant colours and a remarkable volume
