cc-tapis ENVOLÉE UNDYED Patterned rectangular rug with optical pattern

Combining different material densities, from Himalayan Wool to linen, Envolée plays with the inherent tones of each fiber, giving life to a palette of natural shades, each beautifully raw.‎ The alternation of the chromatic compositions reveals the decorative motif of the rug, an elegant composition which evokes the wings of a butterfly observed under a microscope.‎ The new project by Cristina Celestino for cc-tapis takes inspiration from one of the most delicate architectures present in nature: the wings of a butterfly.‎ Observed under a microscope, their beauty is so sophisticated that it defies every type of description.‎ They are ephemeral structures, characterized by iridescent, hypnotic and marvelous scales.‎ The wings of lepidopteran butterflies look like brushstrokes, like paintings in motion.‎ The elegance of their composition, under an attentive eye, has the consistency of a fabric.‎ A consideration which lead Cristina Celestino to translate that which is not visibile to the naked eye into a macro scale.‎ The decorative motif is thus revealed by the alternation of chromatic compositions defined by different material densities, from wool to linen.‎ A rhythm that is translated into a full and vibrant texture, playing on the characteristics of the individual materials and on the varying pile-heights used.‎
