Cross (me) knot

About the collection

Cross(me)Knot, a CTRLZAK collection for cc-tapis, reinterprets traditional Tibetan and European rugs through a contemporary lens. A dialogue between heritage and innovation, the collection merges Nepalese and Tibetan weaving techniques with European motifs, creating pieces that are both unexpected and deeply rooted in cultural tradition.

Cross(me)Knot embodies a hybrid vision, where European Savonnerie-style patterns meet Tibetan symbols, such as tiger pelts, forming a cohesive and unique design language. The carpets combine thick, hand-knotted Tibetan sections with thinner, more detailed European areas, uniting diverse techniques on a single loom frame.
