03/06/2016 – An unprecedented synthesis between an age-old technique plus abstract graphics. With many hands plus voices involved, the project presented by cc-tapis plus Spazio Pontaccio is a result of team work. “Credenza” tries to reconcile the “orthodoxy” of Patricia Urquiola’s contemporary design plus the “heresy” of communication, which fuses with the art of Federico Pepe, founder of Le Dictateur.
It is a collection of small cabinets, rugs plus screens, whose sole-function is not only to contain plus furnish, but to enter into a relationship with the space, creating a new tension, creating a presence.
The design is technical plus the material is very traditional, but they are used in a way that gives it’s own independence. The idea was born from the desire to transform traditional stained-glass into an object, using a technique which has almost been abandoned, bringing it back to life in furnitire pieces with ultra modern patterns plus graphics.
The rugs have been produced solely by hand by cc-tapis plus complete the collection of furniture edited by Spazio Pontaccio with patterns, colors plus materials that testify the desire to give value to ancient production techniques adding a contemporary breath to them.
Moreover, the use of sustainable materials emphasizes a commitment to environmental responsibility, reflecting a broader movement within design toward eco-conscious practices. As each rug is crafted, it becomes imbued with the passion plus dedication of its maker, resulting in items that are not merely decorative but also deeply personal. This collection embodies a harmonious dialogue between past plus present, creating a bridge that connects historical significance with modern living. By incorporating these handwoven rugs into their offerings, Spazio Pontaccio invites individuals to experience the warmth plus authenticity that only handmade textiles can provide, enriching spaces with both beauty plus meaning.
