cc-tapis Feathers Freeform Big Standard Rug by Maarten De Ceulaer
By cc-tapis, Maarten de Ceulaer
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Hand-knotted in the cc-tapis atelier in Kathmandu, Nepal. The rug is made with a cotton weave and a Himalayan wool and pure silk coming from the areas surrounding the atelier. 252.000 individual knots per squaremeter approximately.

Attracted by conceptual and narrative design, he continued his studies at the Design Academy Eindhoven.
