Cc-Tapis Telegram Collection Gramma A Rug By Formafantasma

In collaboration with the concept-driven design studio of Formafantasma, cc-tapis introduces Telegram, a collection of rugs that goes beyond a celebration of the handmade to salute the individuality of the artisans behind the creation of the rugs. cc-tapis has since its beginnings united the vision of cutting-edge designers with the artistry of traditional Tibetan rug-makers in Nepal. To craft the rugs, artisans meticulously twist yarns of natural Himalayan wool knot by knot, creating a rectangle from which the final free-form shape of a cc-tapis rug is cut, leaving corners and sections that are to be sheared off as excess which are then recycled by cc-tapis — areas where rug-makers are at liberty to express their own messages beyond the design’s borders, knotting words of their choosing into these extraneous parts.
