Exploring new horizons in textiles: new creations by cc-tapis, Nanimarquina, and Gan Rugs between art and design
Designed to transcend the boundaries of space and two-dimensionality, rugs are among the undisputed stars of Milan Design Week. The latest collections from cc-tapis, Nanimarquina, and Gan Rugs showcase culturally rich, contemporary projects where creativity blends with traditional craftsmanship to create expressive, design-driven pieces. The new products are characterized by three-dimensional textures, irregular shapes, color experimentation, and a strong focus on sustainability, as highlighted at Salone del Mobile 2024.
Partnering with Faye Toogood, cc-tapis introduces the Rude collection, featuring rugs with a sensual, provocative design. These pieces stand out as unique works of art, inviting various interpretations and stylistic readings.
Complementing Faye Toogood's installation, cc-tapis' Grand Tour collection, showcased at Salone del Mobile, delves into India's artisanal traditions. The collection features innovative, hand-woven rugs that honor local heritage while embracing the company's contemporary approach.
The Grand Tour project showcases Patricia Urquiola's new collections. The M'ama non m'ama rugs evoke the whimsical nature of childhood games, resembling the shape of a daisy with petals forming the flower's crown. The diverse color palette allows for a variety of moods and combinations.
The Sonora collection offers a contemporary reinterpretation on ancient embroidery techniques. It includes rugs and poufs crafted with three-dimensional yarn, creating pixelated patterns that mimic the generation and transmission of sound waves.
Doshi Levien's Raag collection celebrates asymmetry and improvisation with its unexpected patterns, free from predefined designs, embodying a sense of dynamism and openness.
Uchronia's Swirl collection evokes the image of a flower crown seen from above. Delicate crochet work and subtle shades transition from the outer edges to the center, forming voluptuous shapes.
Nanimarquina introduces new collections and additions to existing ones at Salone del Mobile 2024, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability, tradition, and innovation. The Colorado collection, marking the first collaboration between Nanimarquina and Inga Sempé, blends traditional and contemporary elements using ancient weaving and knotting techniques like chobi and kilim.
Available in four sizes and four colors—ash, clay, moss, and sand—the Colorado rugs showcase changing color effects depending on the light, adding beauty and sophistication to any room.
