Nelcya and Fabrizio Cantoni are the founders of cc-tapis, a company that has turned our favourite floor covering into a genuine work of art. It’s a new perspective for these decorative accessories that are becoming more and more popular, but not really a surprise for this couple. Inspired by Maison Chamszadeh – a shop run in Strasbourg by Nelcya’s father and renowned for its hand-knotted Persian rugs – the duo decided fifteen years ago to revolutionise the world of traditional rugs by collaborating with the best in the field. Architects, designers: all designing shapes and graphics for these exceptional products, which are woven in Nepal by Tibetan craftsmen, who draw upon the history of art in their work. With total control of the production process and therefore of the craftsmanship involved, cc-tapis can pride itself on being the only company to have mastered the specifics that make its style unique. Luxury that appeals to a wide range of customers and that we had often seen in the pages of magazines before we had the opportunity to slip into the Cantoni family’s flat. A highly colourful visit – as colourful as their collections – to Milan, where the company has been based since 2011.
Beautiful place, great photos!
