Canevas GEO collection

designed for Gan rugs

Client: Gan rugs

Year : 2016

Technique: Hand made embroidery

In the line of the previous Canevas collection, Canevas Geo re-visits traditional embroidery stitches on a perforated felt sheet. The carpet results of the intertwining of three textures creating areas of different colours and density. Each carpet is shown with two pillows arranging an harmonious atmosphere.

With Canevas, Belgian-born designer Charlotte Lancelot has made a magnificent contemporary take on a classic technique, which successfully eludes the trap of nostalgia. The series includes rugs, cushions and poufs that may be used in combination, to create cohesive spaces, or independently as accent pieces.

The Canevas collection uses the cross-stitch technique to create unusual aesthetic compositions, drawn with thick colored wool threads over a base of perforated felt. Some designs manifest as pixelated and blurred flowers while others, like the cushions, seek to emulate more worn surfaces with abstract patterns.

All the elements of the collection are handmade by Indian artisans, using 100% virgin wool.
