ABOUT
'Nature and Life are one Garment,
a Living Garment, woven and
ever-a-weaving in the Loom of Time'
—Thomas Carlyle
"My design philosophy is shaped by navigating various art disciplines. It all starts with a simple
'straight piece of fabric',
which I approach from a
multi-dimensional perspective.
Many of the materials are
created in my own atelier,
where intricate needle felting
and embroidery also find their
way into my tapestries."
—Peter George d'Angelino Tap

TAPESTRIES
Narratives woven into the fabric of cultural memory
Material storytelling through the medium of tapestry
Originally conceived for Verdi's I Due Foscari by Opera St Moritz and Opera Basel, Das Licht in der Laguna is a monumental 22-metre, five-part tapestry series that reflects on Venice's historical gravitas and ecological fragility. Executed entirely by hand using traditional needle-felting techniques, the work translates the ephemeral qualities of water, air and light into textured wool surfaces. The series situates Venice as both cultural emblem and site of ongoing transformation. → read more

BESPOKE
Splinter Chabot
Polymath Splinter Chabot is a Dutch TV presenter, author, political scientist and media personality with a presence that speaks for itself. For years, Atelier Peter George d'Angelino Tap has been behind the scenes, crafting the couture that defines Splinter’s aesthetic: bold, colourful and always ahead of the curve.
Costumes and stage couture, crafted in
Peter George d’Angelino Tap’s signature style. From intimate recitals to grand productions, worn by performers unafraid to challenge conventions in their field.
CONTEMPORARY EMBROIDERY
Storied needle art
Every single edition always begins as an intricately constructed digital design—hours of meticulous work balancing colour, texture and form. The design is then translated onto fabric through a finely calibrated machine process, guided by a deep understanding of both technology and textile.
Love cake: Joosje Duk and Sebastiaan Chabot
They took the plunge in The Hague and again in the south of France with a celebration that rose like a multi-tiered love cake. It was filmic and literate and riotously funny. Peter George d'Angelino Tap had the supreme honour to create haute couture pieces for the bride, the groom and several audacious guests. Vogue was there to capture it all.
