Spiralé
designed by Gaëlle Lauriot - Prévost and Dominique Perrault
Inspired by the metallic mesh that has defined their architectural work since the 1990s, Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost and Dominique Perrault continue their exploration of industrial materials, now reinterpreted through the warmth of wool with cc-tapis.
Originally used as a structural and finishing element for floors, walls, ceilings, and facades, metallic mesh is typically associated with large-scale architectural applications. Now it has been reimagined for more intimate, domestic spaces in the form of the Spiralé rug collection. A textile expression expanding and contracting like a chevron pattern, stretching, repeating, and extending its zig-zagging nature across the entire surface of the rug.
“With Spiralé, we wanted to translate an architectural language into a textile expression, where the interplay of structure and materiality acquires a new sensory dimension. The wool softens the geometry, creating a tactile landscape that is both structured and fluid”
- say Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost and Dominique Perrault
For Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost and Dominique Perrault, the process dictates the motif, while the material determines the color. Just as metallic mesh reveals the raw tones of metal, the Spiralé collection showcases a gradient of undyed wools, celebrating the natural hues of the fiber.
