Designer Faye Toogood and Cc-tapis join forces to create a stunning and attention-captivating decorative rug collection. Both the aesthetic appeal and the artisanal approach to craftsmanship elevate the silhouettes, instilling a visual dominance that is hard to ignore.
The pieces are hand-knotted in Nepal by Tibetan artists. Each introduces a highly stylized mixture of color and texture. The experimental combinations carry a high degree of expression as the compositions are made "to resemble [the] textural artworks that Faye Toogood has created over the past 18 months." Introducing such a strong artistic potency to the decorative rug collection renders the pieces as statement-makers. On display within Cc-tapis' Milan showroom, the collaborative carpets adorn the walls, suggesting that they are versatile in design.
