Aldo Parisotto + Massimo Formenton, Cut Out Monocromo, cc-tapis. Fascinated by the sculptures of Isamu Noguchi, Parisotto + Formenton
investigate the geometry and the joints between fluid forms. A rug that plays
with the juxtaposition of different materials in the same chromatic tones. Glossy
and opaque effects are given-off from the mixture of pure wool and pure silk. Each
reacting differently under the same light. A reaction that makes the perception of
monochromatic contrast possible

Giuseppe Di Costanzo, Segni Minimi, cc-tapis. Discovered on Instagram, Segni Minimi, which translated means “simple marks” is a collection
of drawings on paper. Essential, abstract and geometric designs where lines, figures and
fields of color overlay each other

Chiara Andreatti, Primitive Weave Collection, cc-tapis. A collection inspired by Moroccan Berber rugs, infused with the rigorous
Viennese geometric graphics from the 20th century. A mixture of Nepalese flatweave
and different pile heights, the effortless combination of cultures and knotting techniques
make these rugs rich in texture and aesthetics. Rugs that are as unique as they are
beautiful

Left: Nelly Maye, Sacha, cc-tapis. Inspired by Rothko, overlays, color and contrast create depth and intensity.
The choice of the line, sometimes clear, sometimes faded brings vibration and
movement. Playing on a “mise en abyme” effect recreating the essence of the rug,
utilising the energy of handknotting and the expertise of the artisan. Right: Claudio Bonoldi, In the Woods 2.0, cc-tapis. Inspired by nature, the ‘In The Woods’ rug uses only natural undyed materials such as
Himalayan wool, silk, aloe and nettle fibres that create a mixture of soft, smooth and
rough textures. Beautiful, natural and stimulating to the touch
