Description

Cap carpet designed by René Gruau for Design Icons Collection of Amini is completely handknotted with 100% New Zealand wool, height 15 mm. Quality: 154,000 knots/sqm. The carpets are hand washed, clipped and carved. The fringes are revolved on the backside and covered with cloth.

 

Selected from the Fede Cheti archive, some of the most iconic illustrations of the designer René Gruau create a series of graphic and timeless rugs. A man, a woman, a hat: figures belonging both to the imaginary and to the real world, perhaps emerged from the Grand Hotel in Rimini or from the Parisian boulevards. Such as Man, an iconic figure, expression of the vices and virtues of the seaside life of the time, poised between fun and regattas. Realized in a Limited Edition of 99 numbered copies. Design Icons collection is the fruit of the collaboration between Amini and the archives of the most significant creative figures of the XXth century. This project is now enriched with the art of René Gruau, developed in tandem with, and on behalf of Fede Cheti, the Milanese entrepreneur and designer particularly renowned from the ‘30s to the ‘70s. A careful process of selection and technical development led to the definition of rugs, hand-knotted in a precious blend of wool and silk. Brought together by their vibrant colors and Gruau’s characteristic strokes, the carpets are diversified by the nature of the subjects: Danza, abstract; Man, Woman, Cap and Valparaise, figurative. The latter, in two color variants, represents a modern floral interpretation clearly inspired by the Japanese culture. Art and fashion, together with la vie Parisienne and the artistry of the Far East, lay beneath the creativity of René Gruau who, together with Fede Cheti, was able to develop a very unique and unmistakable language. The Design Icons collection represented by Masters. While different with regard to generation, training, experience, and legacy, what unites them is a self-same project: a kind of unfettered, personal quest, indeed, a search for the discovery and development of a dynamic and multifaceted modernity. Masters without limiting their investigation, they have dabbled with all kinds of artistic and technical forms – painting, architecture, design, applied arts, publishing, film and photography.
