A renowned purveyor of luxury rugs and carpets, Tappeti Fine Handcrafted Rugs & Carpets has been weaving elegant and artistic narratives into textiles since its founding 18 years ago. The brand has made its mark not just for its bespoke designs, Italian heritage and meticulous craftsmanship, but also for its commitment to ethical and sustainable production at the hands of artisans, who work with natural fibres such as wool, hemp and cactus yarn.
In a one-of-a-kind initiative this year, Tappeti collaborated with five prestigious local interior designers to craft their very own statement rugs, giving the talented designers free rein to craft something representative of their artistic sensibilities. Titled the Tappeti Designer Collective, this collaboration brought together some of the most renowned names in Singapore’s design scene: Architology Interiors, EightyTwo, Elliot James Interiors, Ethereall, and Michael Fiebrich Design. With varying styles and approaches, what unites the five designers is a 57 shared appreciation for bespoke craftsmanship and the finer decorative details.
Of course, the collection stays true to the Tappeti ethos: each rug is customisable in the scope of colour, shape, size and even fibre—a key adaptation for high traffic areas—while retaining the designer’s artistic intent and vision. The first collaboration of its kind in Singapore, it was no easy feat to actualise; the resulting range is a testament to the skill and creativity behind each textile masterpiece.
PAPER WIND
Inspired by Chinese paper fans, Architology Interiors designed Paper Wind, a rug that embodies movement and elegance.
