Les Arcs, designed by French architect and designer Charlotte Perriand is a collection of hand-knotted rugs originally intended as textile panels for the interiors of the Les Arcs ski station in the French Alps. After more than 50 years, cc-tapis worked closely with Pernette Perriand Barsac and Jacques Barsac to give life to the design which had never been produced before.
cc-tapis
cc-tapis is a company founded by Nelcya and Fabrizio Cantoni in France which has been producing carpets for 16 years, all completely hand-knotted by expert Tibetan artisans in Nepal. Raw materials, patterns and innovative weaving techniques are key parts of the success of this product. A strong respect for the materials and culture of this ancient craft is reflected in the company's ecological approach to every step of production, ranging from hand-spinning the softest Himalayan wool to using purified rainwater for washing. In 2011 the company was moved to Milan where a team of designers blend an innovative design approach with traditional production methods.
