Atelier Tapis Rouge, a leader in contemporary design rugs, blends innovation, craftsmanship, and artistic expression to transform how rugs are perceived in living spaces. Rooted in Persian heritage and driven by a passion for contemporary art, Atelier Tapis Rouge is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of traditional design.
As a leading name in the contemporary design rug sector, our company combines innovation, craftsmanship, and artistic expression to redefine how people perceive and interact with rugs in their living spaces.
With a background rooted in Persian heritage, a deep interest in contemporary art scenarios, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional design, we always strive to merge artistry with new challenges.
We chose this path because we believe in the power of design to transform environments, enhance experiences, and tell stories that resonate with individuals on a deeper level.
Good design can provide well-being and inspire change. We work sustainably on a small scale, putting a high value on choosing materials and techniques with low environmental impact and creating products that can last a long time.
We produce our rugs in Nepal using only environmentally friendly tools and techniques and sustainably sourced raw materials, respecting the communities of artisans we collaborate with.
Our uniqueness lies in having an in-house design department and a team of professionals who work to enrich the collections in our catalog, creating values for custom projects with excellent technical expertise and on very different scales of size.
Our design style is characterized by a bold, contemporary aesthetic infused with an avant-garde twist. We are dedicated to experimenting with irregular shapes, hyper-realistic surfaces, and cuts, pushing boundaries to create rugs that stand out as functional pieces and artistic statements.
We are committed to producing an enriching special research project each year through collaboration with historical archives or creative minds from the design and art scene.
Our design process begins with research and inspiration. We work closely with creatives from different backgrounds; as in the case of Armando Milani, our goal is to translate their vision, exploring materials, colors, and techniques to bring the design to life in terms of material and meaning.
Each stage of creating a project, from sketches to samples to the finished product, is supported by our team's technical know-how. We work and promote the creation of projects and works that carry a message.
The winning artwork we presented at the MUSE Design Awards 2024 shows Armando Milani's unique graphic artworks from the 1960s and 1970s transformed into beautiful rugs. Armando Milani created the original artworks from photographed paper maquettes as assignments from popular brands, magazines, and pharmaceutical companies with extreme experimental, spontaneous, and playful approaches to the design.
Small works that, photographed, lost their boundaries and dimensions, and today in different sizes, can take on new importance, bringing the same message into the future.
