Together with Marco De Vincenzo, cc-tapis decided to undertake the challenge of translating his iconic lurex textiles into a rug.
Lurex is a material which is very rarely used in the rug making world and something foreign to traditional Indian weavers. Both cc-tapis and Marco De Vincenzo revel in experimentation and together developed a new collection which reflected the identity and spirit of both brands.
“I have always been fascinated by thread as an image of life itself, and by the act of spinning or weaving as a metaphor of destiny. When I met cc-tapis I immediately glimpsed how many connections there were between their creative universe and mine, and how strong the bond we both feel we have with matter and its infinite possibilities of transformation. This is how our exchange of ideas was born, like a pre-established design that takes place at the right time, in the form of a rainbow of frosted colors.” - Marco De Vincenzo
