Ombra carpet designed by Muller Van Severen for CC-Tapis is completely handknotted with cotton weave and Himalayan wool and silk pile. Quality: A (125,000 knots/sqm approx.). The collection consists of two models:
Ombra - (cotton weave, himalayan wool, silk pile) monochromatic
Ombra Block - (cotton weave, himalayan wool) multi-colored
With both Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen being artists, it’s natural that the collection sits somewhere between design and art. The couple has been on an inspired quest for sculpturally interesting furniture objects, always including the space around it, and characterized by a careful research into their shared passion for art, architecture and materials. At the same time Muller Van Severen’s designs appear to be created almost intuitively and with total effortlessness. It looks as if the designers draw with crayons in space. Ombra, an immersive experiment with shadow, where objects and the imagination float or even fly.
The collaboration between cc-tapis and Muller Van Severen was born remotely, from virtual meetings that took place during 2020. From this initial digital introduction, the Belgian duo took a traditional approach to their creative process and began with model-making; experimenting with paper, cardboard and light. By cutting, sticking and photographing, they delicately layered tone and shadow, adding not only multiple dimensions to their design but also to traditional craftsmanship. The Ombra collection is available in two designs: one monochromatic and the other graphic and multi-colored.
