Cross Lights
Cross Lights is a luxury textile brand born in Lisbon, weaving light through color since 2015. Each piece is handcrafted with sustainable fibers, rooted in slow living, feminine strength, and poetic design. Made to be felt, cherished, and lived with presence.
My name is Rita Martins Pereira
I come from a multicultural family of crafters, artists, entrepreneurs, and designers, with roots stretching across Brazil, India, Italy, and Angola. Creativity, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for cultural diversity have been part of my life since childhood.

Sustainable Textiles for Design Projects
I develop handwoven textile samples using recycled wool, pine needles, cane, bracejo, and virgin wool—perfect for bespoke wall art, lampshades, or accent pieces. These explorations in texture and structure are ideal for interior designers looking for sustainable, made-to-order solutions. Let’s collaborate to bring your vision to life, with natural materials and artisan detail.

I facilitate weaving workshops for groups, tailored to associations, companies, and cultural events. These hands-on sessions invite participants to slow down, connect, and explore colour and texture through textile art. From team-building experiences to creative installations, each workshop is designed to inspire and adapt to your context. Let’s weave something meaningful—together.
