Sources Unlimited unveils new range of rugs – Feathers by CC-Tapis

Sources Unlimited has unveiled an exclusive hand-made rugs collection, Feathers, by CC-Tapis, a niche brand for iconic furnishing accessories based in Italy. Originated in France, it has its creative mind in Italy, and produces contemporary rugs hand-knotted in Nepal by expert Tibetan artisans. A deep regard for the materials and the ancient craft is clearly evident in the brand’s eco-friendly approach at every stage of production.

Feathers is an extension of the Feathers collection by Maarten De Ceulaer. The collection comprises three new species: Feathers Rectangular, Feathers Freeform Big and Feathers Runner – a flock of unique rugs that took shape from Maarten De Ceulaers affinity for birds.

De Ceulaer pairs and clips digital scans together, often tweaking and morphing them into further abstraction. Shapes, colours, and textures are rearranged into enchanting and absorbing compositions. The collages are then translated into rich and sophisticated rugs, hand-knotted in Himalayan wool and silk. To give life to De Ceulaer’s digital artworks, the highest quality of Tibetan hand-knotting is used with approximately 250.000 individual knots per square meter. Different levels of pile-height are hand-cut to create a sense of depth, emphasizing the feathers’ shapes giving the collection a fine and rich texture.
