Atelier Tapis Rouge is a luxury rugs company based in Milan. Atelier Tapis Rouge carries forward the rich legacy of rug-making, tracing back centuries. The brand's story is rooted in the traditions of ancient Persia where spirituality, tradition, and craftsmanship were blended, and it continues in the contemporary participating in the rituals of everyday life, filling interior design projects, drawing new expressive languages and new meanings. Tapis Rouge produces rugs in Nepal, using sustainably sourced raw materials and hand-knotting techniques that embody the care and tradition of the past, respecting the values of the communities we work with. Each rug is a testament to the company’s dedication to preserving the traditions of the past while embracing the challenges of the future. Tapis Rouge chooses the language of contemporary art and scenarios to weave the future by designing high quality products which, with the right care and maintenance, can be handed down in the history of future generations.
Tapis Rouge: Approach and Sustainability
Tapis Rouge primarily uses materials derived from nature, from natural wool and silk to bamboo and alpaca, except for 100% recycled PET that they recently introduced for the new outdoor rugs collection and other recycled fibers certified for hypoallergenic products. Sustainability permeates every aspect of the work as a reflection of ongoing commitment to producing, according to ecological and ethical practices. The company's ethical commitment is intrinsic to preserving authentic, traditional processes from the past; that’s why Tapis Rouge continues to use natural formulas that eliminate the environmental impact of dyeing the yarns.
Tapis Rouge: Custom
Tapis Rouge creates hand-made rugs for every type of interior, outdoor, style, and desire of their customers. Each design can adapt to the needs of the clients, whether they are private, architects, or interior designers. Custom-made projects can produce unique artifacts and endless possibilities. At the center of every custom-made project is the desire to create a unique artifact tailor-made for every type of owner, space, and needs. The designs can be customized in sizes, shapes, and colors within a 560 shades palette. A Tapis Rouge professional from the design department can guide customers through the details of every non-standard project and discuss possible customizable options. The technical know-how allows us to support the client in defining every design detail, from the choice of the most suitable materials to the orientation and height of the pile to the positioning so that the rug appears in its best aesthetic expression.
Tapis Rouge: Design Attitude
Tapis Rouge develops and designs most of its collections in-house, thanks to the presence of an experienced group of designers; however, it is by vocation, committed to the production of special projects involving intellectual and artistic research outside the trends of the moment, to create original content with the ambition to produce value. Tapis Rouge collaborated with some significant names in the contemporary design scene, such as Fabio Novembre, Mike Shilov, and Armando Milani.
