Cc-Tapis Giudecca Rug By Zanellato/bortotto

Hand knotted in the cc-tapis atelier in Kathmandu, Nepal. The rug is made with a cotton weave a Himalayan wool and pure silk coming from the areas surrounding the atelier. 152.000 individual knots per square meter approximately. The sale of every rug supports cc-foreducation. Size: 5' x 7.9' ft. A+ (152.000 knots/sqm approx.)From a photo of a flight of stairs in Venice, came the idea to reinterpret the iconic image of the steps covered in water by the lagoon. The different tones of gray of the wool create the stone steps, marked by salt and the effects of time. The sea and the vibrations of the waves are transformed into a shimmering silk surface where tones of blue and green radiate together. Made 50% of wool and 50% of silk.
