Cc tapis - Envolée Forest carpet

Envolée, designed by Cristina Celestino, takes inspiration from one of the most delicate architecture in nature: the wings of a butterfly. Viewed under a microscope, their beauty is so sophisticated that it defies any description. They are ephemeral structures, characterized by iridescent scales, hypnotic and wonderful. The wings of the moth butterflies look like brushstrokes, like paintings in motion. The elegance of their composition, to a careful eye, has the consistency of a fabric. A consideration that leads Cristina Celestino to translate in macro scale what is not visible to the naked eye. The decorative motif is thus revealed by the alternation of chromatic compositions defined by different material densities, from wool to linen. A rhythm that results in a full and vibrant texture, playing on the characteristics of individual materials and the different heights of the poles used.
