Born in France. Designed in Milan. Produced in Nepal.

At IMM Cologne and Maison&Objet Paris cc-tapis® presented, in a new stand concept, 3 new designs by young and dynamic Italian designers: Elena SalmistraroLeonardo Talarico e and Domenico Rocca & Alberto Nespoli of EligoStudio.

For cc-tapis® Elena Salmistraro has designed the new hand-knotted rugs Cartesio and Cartesio Outline which explore geometry on a flat surface creating bidimensional universes.

For the new cc-tapis® contract collection Metroquadro, EligoStudio takes inspiration from nature for their Orizzonti rugs and Leonardo Talarico plays with layers and takes a new perspective on a birds eye view.

Contemporary patterns and geometric motifs created with rich materials and artisanal production. The new Metroquadro contract collection, launched in September 2017, gives the freedom to create rugs with the sizes, materials and colors of your choice, with delivery in 6 to 8 weeks.

cc-tapis® is an Italian company which produces contemporary hand-knotted and hand-woven rugs which are created in Nepal by expert Tibetan artisans. The company was founded by Nelcya and Fabrizio Cantoni in France who have been producing hand-knotted rugs in Nepal for over 17 years. In 2011 cc-tapis® moved to Milan where the company is now based and a team of designers innovate through a new approach to traditional methods.

A strong respect for the materials and for the culture of this ancient craft is reflected in the company’s eco-friendly approach to every step of production, ranging from the hand spinning of the softest Himalayan wool to the use of purified rainwater for the washing of the final products, making each one of cc-tapis rugs unique.

Far from mass production, cc-tapis® aims to offer a tailored service to those who understand and enjoy a high-end product, where a three month production time contains a story of ageless culture.
