Fuga Rug Collection by Cristian Mohaded for cc-tapis.

Conceived by Milan-based Argentine designer and artist Cristián Mohaded for cc-tapis, Fuga collection explores the visual displacement of volume – rugs that shift, push and pull their own boundaries, breaking traditional shapes, responding to the objects around them.

A prolific drawer, Mohaded began his process for Fuga by sketching, initially producing hundreds of drawings, each treated as an experiment that eventually developed his concept and ideas.

Mohaded was interested in the visual displacement of volume. Simple and delicate mark-making became merely a consequence of the shifting mass he was moving on paper. He was curious about flow and the dynamic energy created when a mass reaches its breaking point, expanding beyond its borders.

Whether the volume is moving from within or being attracted from outside, these forces manipulate the objects to create an organic design that was never pre-planned.

The final result is a collection of 3 rugs for cc-tapis, which delicately use undyed Himalayan wool to translate the mark-making of the designer. Each one shifting, pulling and pushing its own boundaries, breaking traditional shapes and spaces, responding to the objects around it.
