The rug is an ancestral symbol: it's at our feet, like the earth upon which we take our first steps. It is in some way primitive and, perhaps for this reason, it is the first element that suggests the intimate atmosphere of a home:  it's almost a large page from a diary recounting habits, dreams, follies and poetry. But in this archaism that permeates it, it knows how to be unpredictably modern, ready to materialize our territorial boundaries. It does this in relation to architecture, like a special stone that forms the pivot of the extremely personal atmosphere vision we all have. Living rugs, therefore, destined to recreate the traditional functions of living, on the floor.  Rugs that don't decorate the space, they create it, by re-establishing the original tie with nature. Wearing the colours of the seasons, the softness, the vibrations, the brightness... the same irregularity and imperfection that distinguishes all real aspects. Therefore, as in nature, where nothing is identically repeated, every piece has its authentic personality: the apparent imperfections in the weave or colour are in fact distinctive characteristics, clear signs of the craftsmanship of the product.  A craftsmanship that goes step by step with design. The new rugs are the result of a careful creative project in which design, colour and relief are in functional relation to each other.  3-d surfaces are characterized by the unusual choice of materials, natural but reinvented, like felt, hemp, coconut fibre and jute; for fresh textures that range from rough cord to the silkiness of velvet, to the radical fineness of weaves without weight;  for unpredictable colours that steal shiny shades from nature's landscapes and black and white optical contrasts, these are rugs that give emotion...on tip-toe.
