1 milan design week 2018

2 MILANO, 17/04/2018 milan design week 2018 The new projects from cc-tapis presented during the Milan Design Week 2018 express diverse creative inspirations from the designers with whom they have collaborated with, always maintaining focus on materials and the artisanal approach that characterises and distinguishes cc-tapis. Bethan Laura Wood presents an explosive collection of rugs inspired by the clash between the man-made and nature, Patricia Urquiola s inspiration comes from the digital world of color and geometry. Elena Salmistraro creates two-dimenional universes whilst Chiara Andreatti and Rooms Studio take inspiration from specific cultural references: in the first case antique Japan and the second traditional Georigian tapestries. Ludovica + Roberto Palomba celebrate travel memories for their collection and after the success of the Bliss collection in 2017, Mae Engelgeer presents the rugs in a new blue color-combination. Lastly Studiopepe introduces a new collection of luminous wall-hangings which is a devlopment on the Hello Sonia! wall-hangings presented at the Salone del Mobile last year. about cc-tapis Born in France. Designed in Milan. Produced in Nepal. cc-tapis is an Italian company which produces contemporary hand-knotted rugs which are created in Nepal by expert Tibetan artisans. The company was founded by Nelcya Chamszadeh and Fabrizio Cantoni in France who have been producing hand-knotted rugs in Nepal for over 18 years. In 2011 cc-tapis moved to Milan where the company is now based and a team of designers lead by Daniele Lora, art-director and partner, innovate through a new approach to traditional methods. A strong respect for the materials and for the culture of this ancient craft is reflected in the company s eco-friendly approach to every step of production, ranging from the hand spinning of the softest Himalayan wool to the use of purified rainwater for the washing of the final products, making each one of cc-tapis rugs unique. Far from mass production, cc-tapis aims to offer a tailored service to those who understand and enjoy a high-end product, where a three month production time contains a story of age-less culture.

3 MILANO, 17/04/2018 Salone del Mobile Milano Award Winner A perfect combination of product and presentation. Traditional craftsmanship meets art to create a suggestive and captivating atmosphere. Rugs made to be stroked and a stand to be experienced.

4 Highlights super fake collection standard color version designed by bethan laura wood exhibited at: cc-tapis showroom: piazza santo stefano 10 fairgrounds: Hall 6, stand B25 A series of rugs inspired by the collision of the man-made with nature. Each based on a different rock form, whose surface patterns are created through the organic build-up of sediment through time and a combination of materials under pressure; In these rugs each layer or facet is represented by a variety of beautiful rug-making techniques which have been developed over centuries by Tibetan artisans. Bethan uses the rock as a reference to explore the post instagram and snap chat world, where the fleeting two-dimensional image, collide with a physical and tactile reality, the hyper-, and super-, fake spill into our daily lives. Rocks and crystals have always symbolized a very physical reality of nature; when something is set in stone it is a mark of permanence. With this series, Bethan hopes to create rugs that connect and hold permanence in our fast-paced world, by imagining a visual landscape that allows us, though its detail and dynamism, to lose ourselves and dream.

11 Creative mind Bethan Laura Wood Bethan Laura Wood obtained a MA in Design Products at the Royal College of Art, under the tuition of Jurgen Bey and Martino Gamper. Since graduating in 2009, Bethan has built a multidisciplinary practice characterized by material investigation, artisan collaboration, and a passion for colour and detail.

12 Highlights the slinkie collection standard color version designed by patricia urquiola exhibited at: cc-tapis showroom: piazza santo stefano 10 fairgrounds: Hall 6, stand B25 A new creative chapter consolidates the collaboration between Patricia Urquiola and cc-tapis with the new Slinkie collection. A design story revolving around color; a succession of chromatic evolutions developed in a composite universe of organic shapes. A digital drawing which allows every rug to display an evolution of the different wools -sometimes unexpectedly- placed side by side, outlining multiple chromatic associations. A visual exercise aimed to transform the intangible idea of shade and hue into a finely produced and sophisticated product.

30 Highlights flatlandia collection standard color version designed by elena salmistraro exhibited at: fairgrounds: Hall 6, stand B25 Rugs are transformed into two-dimensional universes inhabited by geometric shapes, just like in the novel Flatland, the fantastic story in multiple dimensions, written by Reverend Edwin A. Abbott in Triangles, lines, circles and squares overlap, meet and collide becoming conscious of eachother, just as they do in the novel, unaware of the colors and the magic they hold. The collection has two faces; one more tactile and rough, the other softer and lighter, one more intense and crowded, the other sober and sublime. A series of rugs which play with contrast exphasizing duality and the craftsmanship involved in their creation. It is no coincidence that the rugs have the names of famous mathematicians.

45 Highlights BLISS blue color version designed by mae engelgeer esposto a: fiera: Hall 6, stand B25 Inspiration for this project came from a sample that Mae Engelgeer created, shaping round curves and trying to create a 3D effect. After a period of using straight graphic lines, and feeling almost captured by it, she felt the need to use bold shapes again. Keeping the playfulness of the Memphis movement in mind and experimenting with shape and color was the start of the BLISS collection. Mixing elements like pattern and form with different production techniques giving life to the rugs. Using high quality materials like Himalayan wool with pure silk makes some parts literally glow. In 2018 the collection is presented in the new BLUE color combination.

51 Highlights The Night of a Hunter standard color version designed by rooms studio exhibited at: alcova, salvatore lanteri gallery via giulio e corrado venini, 85 A collection of rugs which have been hand-knotted in Nepal by Tibetan Artisans. Rugs are deeply rooted in Georgian culture and have been an inseparable part of everyday life for centuries. This is the story about the old Georgian rugs that were hand-made by the local women in the villages high up into the Caucasus Mountains, where you can touch the starry sky and where you can become one with the universe, and the universe becomes one with you. It is a story of a primitive expression for the feelings invoked by the wilderness, in it s beauty and the mystery of it s invisible energy illustrated in the simple lines, words and numbers Reinterpreting authentic Georgian Rug motifs, Rooms Studio fuse design and history into this small-curated selection of rugs. A rug in itself is a magical object, but for us it is also a symbol of cultural heritage and a chance to explore both paths. Rooms Studio

53 DEER AT NIGHT Inspiration Inspired by starry skies and the infinite nature of space, we continue our theme of traveling in time by going back to our roots by using authentic rug motifs from our past and into the future by using the most recognizable Sci-fI object: the UFO. This playfulness adds absurdity to the artwork and it loses its sense of time. The moonlight shines peacefully onto the deer and the constellations create another level of mystery and a sense of the journey - both internal and literal. size 300x230 cm (9,8 x7,5 ) quality: A ( knots/sqm approx.) materials: cotton weave, himalayan wool pile AD-12, CA-10, AD-10, AH-06, AG-05, AB-05 mix AH-06, AH-06 mix AJ-01, AD-12 mix AB-11, AB-12 mix AJ-01, DH-02, DM-11, AB-12 and AJ % darker himalayan wool.

54 LIONS AT NIGHT Inspiration Drawing inspiration from celestial maps, this is a play between duality and singularity. Two lions, two moons and constellations become one with each another. The lions themselves are sitting on a magic carpet calmly staring at you as if they have appeared to you in a dream, while constellations are acting as invisible guides for your journey, a journey into the night - a place of stillness and infinite wisdom. size 300x230 cm (9,8 x7,5 ) quality: A ( knots/sqm approx.) materials: cotton weave, himalayan wool pile AD-12, CK-11, BJ % darker, AB-12 mix AD-11, AB-12 mix AJ-01, AB-12 and AJ % lighter himalayan wool.
