I Tappeti - Land
Contemporary design and
time-honoured artisan traditions meet in the Land rugs. The dye of this yarn offers up incredibly saturated and
deep shades like rust, charcoal grey, dark blue and natural. The colours
of the earth. In fact, the name Land alludes to the special way that the wool
used in these rugs is woven, its texture reminiscent of ploughed fields seen from
above. Simona Cremascoli chose
to employ the ancient hand-weaving technique of Sumak because it gives the rugs
strength and body. The weavers wrap the woollen weft threads two by two around
robust cotton threads that create the structure, forming small braids that give
rhythm to the surfaces. Land rugs are made from 100% wool, woven and knotted by
hand on wooden frames. The edging, also in wool, is hand-stitched right around
the perimeter of the rug and painstakingly finished. The composition of the structure
+ usable surface area is 20% cotton and 80% wool. It is 10 mm thick and weighs
3.5 kg/m2. Dimensions 200x300cm and 250x350 cm. Made-to-measure dimensions also
available on request with maximum length of 7000 cm, minimum width of 40 cm and
maximum width of 400 cm. The 200x300 cm and 250x350 cm versions have two
different-coloured bands. The 90x280 cm version stands out for its motif
consisting of thick and narrow alternating horizontal bands in two different
colours. Land rugs are produced in India with respect for our working
conditions. The hand-sewn saddle-leather label is stamped with the Poltrona
Frau brand.
