The Archer Collection is a new collection of hand-knotted rugs by Iranian artist Taher Asad-Bakhtiari. Asad-Bakhtiari has always been fascinated by arrows and their power. The Archer Collection is made of 7 individual designs where the artist explores semiotics and cultural icons, creating 7 unique designs whose meaning is expressed with a combination of natural materials and artisanal craftsmanship. A collection which can be used for corridors, staircases, narrow spaces or freely in any interior. The collection is entirely hand-knotted and produced in the cc-tapis Atelier in Nepal, using Himalayan wool, pure silk, lurex and mohair. For the launch of this iconic collection, together with Motel409, the Archer Ballet was created. An avant-garde performance inspired by the Bauhaus 1922 Triadic Ballet. The self-taught artist takes reference from desire, current events, his Persian heritage and religious symbols. This is first time that cc-tapis presents a collection focused on one typology of rug: the runner.
