Tai Ping, a return to the source associated with a nod to the history of photography

The eight models in the new collection Blur come in four different versions depending on the colors, textures and fibers chosen: Tibetan wool, Chinese wool, cashmere and mohair Himalaya South African.

These carpets are made in Nepal, in the valleys of the Himalayas.

The techniques of photography from yesterday to today inspire the different models. "Aperture", "Density" and "Saturation" thus pay tribute to the first photographic experiments and experimental black chambers of artists of the early twentieth century, such as Man Ray and László Moholy-Nagy.

In contemporary abstract photography, artists such as Uta Barth, Leticia Ramos, use devices such as artistic blurring and the leakage of light at the very heart of their images. For example, photographic work on urban lighting is told in their own way.

The color palette of the Blur collection also illustrates the history of photography, such as sepia tones. As many reminders declined in the four variations of the collection with vivid notes: emerald green, lapis lazuli, golden or lilac.

At the key, "snapshots" and focus magnified in carpets that one will hang freely on the wall to enjoy these vertiginous motives of beauty.
