cc-tapis launches the Les Arcs collection by French designer and architect Charlotte Perriand, featuring five new carpet designs and a never-before-seen archive in a global exhibition curated by Dan Thawley, editor of ‘A magazine curated by’.Tucked away in Charlotte Perriand’s archives in Paris, six previously unpublished colour studies originally conceived for a series of woven opening panels come to life for the first time as a collection of rugs hand-knotted by cc-tapis. Taking its name from the Pierre Blanche building at the Les Arcs 1600 ski resort in the French Alps, « Les Arcs » is a project to which Charlotte Perriand devoted 20 years of her life.After more than 50 years, in January 2023, Pernette Perriand Barsac and cc-tapis present the Les Arcs carpet collection, respecting the colour proportions defined by Charlotte Perriand in her technical drawings.Made from 100% Himalayan wool by cc-tapis artisans in Nepal, Les Arcs reproduce the original designs in 3 sizes and 12 assorted shades – from light ‘antelope’ brown and ‘bee’ yellow to bright ‘admiral’ blue and ‘azalea’ pink. A testament to Charlotte Perriand‘s lifelong passion for craftsmanship.
