Pure wool jacquard rug featuring an urn of flowers loosely sketched by Luke, inspired by the roses he grows in his country garden.
"Our four Chateau Orlando rug designs for cc-tapis are not tied to a specific theme. Instead, I wanted to create a small collection comprising motifs that we love and incorporate into all of our collections: 1970s and '80s-inspired geometric patterns, stripes, flowers... As an artist and designer, I enjoy juxtaposing my painterly line drawings with bold, graphic patterns." – Luke Edward Hall
To create these delicate and complex patterns, cc-tapis applies a jacquard weaving technique, a production method which has been used for over two centuries, primarily in the production of textiles. Very rarely used in the world of rug-making due to its complexity, the technique involves thousands of individual spools of yarn being connected to traditional horizontal Indian hand-looms.
Made entirely by hand, every step of the traditional production process is followed in-house, from the dying of raw and natural materials, to weaving and finishings.
