Asmara Collection by Federico Pepe, a tribute to the capital of Eritrea, the UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its futurist architecture. An innovative urbanistic utopia applied to an African context, which is evoked in the design of each rug in the collection. "I applied lines which are inspired by the iconography and the formal essence of modernist architecture.”, explains Federico Pepe. Originally presented as one single hand-knotted rug called Asmara, which quickly became an icon in the cc-tapis catalogue, now in 2023 Asmara has grown into a collection welcoming two new designs: Zolot and Alfa.
