ABOUT THE COLLLECTION

Designed by Formafantasma, Telegram is a collection of rugs woven with personal messages chosen by the cc-tapis artisans which celebrates the liberty to express their own messages beyond the design’s borders. 

“We wanted to remove the veil between us and the makers. It’s the beginning of a dialogue, instead of merely a finished product.”

- Simone Farresin and Andrea Trimarchi

To craft the rugs, artisans meticulously twist yarns of natural Himalayan wool knot by knot, creating a rectangle from which the final free-form shape of a cc-tapis rug is cut, leaving corners and sections that are usually to be sheared off as excess to create a mélange of motifs made of the names, places and thoughts each rug-maker holds dear.  

A hand-knotted note to people elsewhere in the world, and a tribute to the human being behind the adroit workmanship.
