The Kama Carpet by G.T.Design Turns 20

19/10/2021 - G.T.Design celebrates 20 years of Kama carpet with a Capsule Collection consisting of 2 new versions and 4 different shades. With an artistic vision of the project rather than an industrial one, Deanna Comellini was driven by the desire to explore the design process, from the research of natural fibers and technical yarns to new weaving systems.

 

The result of years of experimentation, this rug features a rich and thick hand-woven viscose that captures light and allows it to fluctuate on its weave. This unique, one-of-a-kind rug is produced with mass dyed yarn is hand-woven on traditional looms.

The capsule collection includes two styles – Allegro a Piacere and Allegro con Brio – in four different shades: Blu Notte and Paglierino – absolute novelties – and Bianco Luce and Polvere di Stelle, a re-edition of two of the colors of the original collection. The main features of the capsule collection are the different textures that amplify, even more, the ability of Kama to reflect the light.

G.T.DESIGN has presented the iconic Kama collection in the stunning Villa Necchi Campiglio during the last edition of Fuorisalone. 'We chose Villa Necchi as a background for the capsule collection to pay tribute to Italian architecture, art, and design, a constant source of inspiration for my work,' said Deanna Comellini. 'From the architectural style from the 1930s of Piero Portaluppi to the masterpieces of Tiepolo and Giorgio De Chirico, Villa Necchi is a true testimony of the Italian cultural heritage through the years. In addition, the Milanese residence is an emblem of G.T.DESIGN’s values: innovation, elegance, balance, and the capacity to explore new solutions with an original and versatile approach to the project. They are symbols of the Italian way of doing things, and that is why we felt immediately captivated by this special place. We are thrilled to celebrate Kama in this gem in the heart of Milan and to support the mission of The National Trust for Italy, that protects the country's natural and cultural assets.'
