Description
cc-tapis launches the Les Arcs collection by French designer and architect Charlotte Perriand, featuring five new carpet designs and a never-before-seen archive in a global exhibition curated by Dan Thawley, editor of 'A magazine curated by'.
Tucked away in Charlotte Perriand's archives in Paris, six previously unpublished colour studies originally conceived for a series of woven opening panels come to life for the first time as a collection of hand-knotted rugs by cc-tapis. Taking its name from the Pierre Blanche building at the Les Arcs 1600 ski resort in the French Alps, "Les Arcs" is a project to which Charlotte Perriand devoted 20 years of her life.
After more than 50 years, in January 2023, Pernette Perriand Barsac and cc-tapis present the Les Arcs carpet collection, respecting the colour proportions defined by Charlotte Perriand in her technical drawings.
Made from 100% Himalayan wool by cc-tapis artisans in Nepal, Les Arcs reproduce the original designs in 3 sizes and 12 assorted shades - from light 'antelope' brown and 'bee' yellow to bright 'admiral' blue and 'azalea' pink. A testament to Charlotte Perriand's lifelong passion for craftsmanship.

Charlotte PERRIAND
Charlotte Perriand was a French architect and designer, born on 24 October 1903 and died on 27 October 1999. Perriand is regarded as one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. From the early decades of the century, she promoted a renewal of aesthetic values and contributed to a distinctly modern sensibility in everyday life. Perriand brought a fresh vision to furniture design by removing elements that seemed superfluous. This vision was influenced by her 6-year stay in Japan, where she was inspired by the simplicity and elegance of Japanese design, as well as by her passion for the mountains. Perriand is famous for creating understated furniture directly inspired by the mountains and Japan. With a deep interest in winter sports and mountain life, she was entrusted with the development of high mountain accommodation, including the resort of Les Arcs, from 1967 to 1986. After studying at the Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs school, Perriand collaborated with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret on avant-garde research into home furnishings. Their collaborations include the House of Mexico library, the Méribel chairs, and the Cansado enfilade, which have become iconic pieces in modern design. A free and passionate woman, Perriand also left her mark on the history of design through her personality, travels, and her special relationship with nature. From 1955 to 1960, she was the artistic director, along with Jean Prouvé, of the Galerie Steph Simon in Paris, where their work was showcased. She collaborated there with designers like Serge Mouille. Cassina, a prominent design company, has been publishing furniture by Charlotte Perriand since 2004. One of her most famous pieces is the Tabouret Berger, first shown in 1955 at the Synthèse des Arts exhibition in Tokyo. This piece is part of a series inspired by the reinterpretation of local architecture in the Alps and has become one of Perriand's bestsellers. Her professional career also included collaborations with leading French administrations, companies like Air France, and international institutions, cementing her legacy as a globally renowned designer.

CC-TAPIS
CC-Tapis is an Italian company that manufactures hand-woven contemporary rugs created in Nepal by Tibetan master craftsmen. In 2011, CC-Tapis moved to Milan, where the company is now based. Its artistic director and partner, Daniele Lora, leads a team of designers there that innovate through a new approach to traditional methods. Weighty respect for the materials and culture of the ancestral profession is reflected in CC-Tapis’s environmentally-friendly approach at every stage of production, from spinning the softest Himalayan wool to using purified rainwater. Patricia Urquiola designed the "Visioni" collection for CC-Tapis: a 2-piece series featuring geometric shapes and soft colours.
