Origin

Classic floral ornament paired with contemporary aesthetics – for this hand-knotted Tapis we drew our inspiration from the flowering patterns of French tapestry rugs.

We reworked the traditional ornaments, pared them back and, above all, rearranged the colouring completely. The result is a fusion of traditional rug design and modern European aesthetics. With our Tapis design we set out to meet the trends of European interiors, playing freely with the conventions of traditional rug knotting.

Pattern

The lush floral motifs of this Tapis are elegantly drawn and full of variety. The graceful plant symbols, depicting blossoms, leaves and branches, are artfully intertwined.

The repeating elements of this Tapis rug have no particular centre. The recurring repeat pattern feels calming but never dull. Rugs with a repeat pattern are also described as all-over patterned.

The background of this Tapis is rust red.

Material

The pile of this Tapis was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties: thanks to the wool's natural lanolin content, the surface repels droplets of water and is naturally protected against dirt. Wool also provides excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on the indoor climate and dampens sound. The weft and warp threads of this Tapis are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it especially suitable for a hard-wearing foundation weave.
