Cc tapis -  Bliss Big sand carpet

The Bliss Collection is characterized by a sculptural and three-dimensional effect that was initially inspired by a sample that Mae Engelgeer created where she was experimenting with rounded and curved shapes. This happened after a period of using straight lines and feeling captured by them, Mae felt the need to use bold shapes again. Keeping in mind the playfulness of the Memphis movement and mixing elements such as patterns and shapes with different production techniques and give life to the carpets. The Ultimate Bliss, creates a sophisticated textile landscape with a variety of pile heights created in Himalayan wool and pure silk.  A design so dense that you can, as the designer says, "get lost in bliss". A collection that offers different production techniques from hand-knotted to hand-woven.

Mae Engelgeer

Textile design has always been at the heart of Dutch designer Mae Engelgeer’s work, from her high school days to her studies at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute and Sandberg Instituut. Since opening her own studio in 2013, she has nurtured her curiosity for the craft, experimenting within the existing boundaries of textile production to elevate old techniques to a modern stage. Mae Engelgeer’s work embraces subtle colour palettes, patterns and linear elements. Complex compositions merge with perfection to establish harmony. Creative explorations into the contrasting of materials and textures result in works that luxurious in their tactility and dimensionality. In addition to developing her own collections, Mae Engelgeer collaborates with brands around the world on projects ranging from textile products and furniture design to material explorations and art direction to large-scale installations and public artworks.
