Omote

ABOUT THE COLLECTION

Mae Engelgeer explores the scale, shape and colors of the traditional Japanese tatami mat, inviting you to ground yourself on Omote. Evoking the top woven part of the authentic Japanese floor covering, the collection takes the designer’s love for this weaving structure into the world of rugs.

“With the Omote collection we are taking my love for this elegant weaving structure with a perfect graphic rythm and shift it in another direction, into our soft world of rugs.”

- specifies Mae Engelgeer

Together with the cc-tapis team Mae Engelgeer investigates the minimalistic structure of the tatami mat experimenting with the handloom process. Natural yarns are woven around a cozy and insulating felt, dyed in signature shades, recreating the suppleness and softness of the tatami mat.
