Graffiti

cc-tapis and Cassina combine artisanal expertise with contemporary design for two hand-knotted rugs conceived by pioneering architect Charlotte Perriand during her time in Japan: Vérité and Graffiti. Vérité features the Japanese ideogram for “Truth”, or the Mandarin character for “Free”, imprinted into the pile of a vibrant red rug. The pattern featured on the Graffiti rug comes from a photo of a pair of obscure marine animals sketched by an anonymous Japanese sailor that Charlotte Perriand took on the Hakusan Maru ship in June 1940.
