I Tappeti - Pecan
A soft, warm and
full-bodied surface. A soft extension of the bed or seat on which to stretch
out, curl up, play, relax, read and walk barefooted. The Pecan rugs stem from in-depth Simona Cremascoli research into
tricot processing and are handmade using an exclusive technique. The wool yarn
is completely wrapped around a jute core, which makes up the structure. In this
way the rug has no distinct front or back but can be used on both sides with an
even softer and more comfortable effect. Full-bodied and resistant, jute gives
it strength and dynamism. The result is an elegant three-dimensional knit
which, although super soft, is reminiscent of a floor strewn with walnut shells
when you touch it. Hence the name Pecan. The rug represents the perfect
fabric backdrop for a welcoming and informal living room or a cosy and relaxing
bedroom. Its refined colour variants include pale pink, mole grey and graphite.
The surface of the Pecan rugs is refined on the two short sides with two 40-mm
edges in a Panama weave that alternates a thread of the same colour as the rug
with contrasting thread. The composition of the usable surface area is
100% wool while the composition of the structure + usable surface area is 40%
jute and 60% wool. It is 12 mm thick and weighs 2.3 kg/m2. Dimensions 200x300
cm and 300x400 cm. Made-to-measure dimensions also available on request with
maximum length of 10 m, minimum width of 70 cm and maximum width of 300 cm.
Pecan rugs are produced in Morocco with respect for our working conditions. The
hand-sewn saddle-leather label is stamped with the Poltrona Frau brand.

Poltrona
Frau, Second half of the 60. In the second half of the 1960s, Poltrona Frau
created an internal structure to manage research and development. Whilst
preserving the know-how of expert craftsmanship, the Centre for Research and
Development experiments with new material, new building techniques and creates
new forms.
The highly specialised
design technicians that make up the group benefit from a superbly equipped
prototype laboratory, where they can give form to new ideas. Products and raw
material are tested in the Analysis and Experimentation Laboratory, a very
efficient structure for the fine-tuning of high-quality products conforming
international norms. |
