Rebus
designed by India Mahdavi
INTRODUCING REBUS: THE RESULT OF CC-TAPIS’ ONGOING COLLABORATION WITH IRANIAN-FRENCH ARCHITECT INDIA MAHDAVI
About the collection
A collection of hand-knotted rugs which seamlessly merges the worlds of art and design, using graphic elements to create a visual language that is both cryptic and playful.
India Mahdavi has developed an intricate puzzle that extends beyond the obvious, turning words, phrases, and ideas into bold and unexpected shapes. Each piece in the Rebus collection combines playful abstraction with symbolism, part of a figurative language that invites the viewer to interpret and uncover the hidden clues woven into its surface.
Produced in cc-tapis’ Atelier in Nepal, the soft fade effect central to each design is the result of a meticulous artisanal process achieved through a careful alternation of woollen threads in varying saturations, resulting in a color palette that is both subtle and striking.
