cc-tapis
Born in France. Designed in Milan. Produced in Nepal. CC-tapis is an Italian company which produces contemporary hand-knotted rugs which are created in Nepal by expert Tibetan artisans. The company was founded by Nelcya Chamszadeh and Fabrizio Cantoni in France who have been producing hand-knotted rugs in Nepal for over 18 years. In 2011 cc-tapis moved to Milan where the company is now based and a team of designers lead by Daniele Lora, art-director and partner, innovate through a new approach to traditional methods.
A story of ageless culture.
A strong respect for the materials and for the culture of this ancient craft is reflected in the company’s eco-friendly approach to every step of production, ranging from the hand spinning of the softest Himalayan wool to the use of purified rainwater for the washing of the final products, making each one of cc-tapis rugs unique.
Far from mass production, cc-tapis aims to offer a tailored service to those who understand and enjoy a high-end product, where a three month production time contains a story of ageless culture.
In May 2015, Nelcya Chamszadeh and Fabrizio Cantoni established CC-FOR EDUCATION, a non-profit organization with the goal of providing a comprehensive education to the children of weavers in Nepal. The organization offers education in private schools starting from kindergarten and continuing all the way through high school graduation. Through their efforts, CC-FOR EDUCATION is making a significant impact on the lives of Nepalese children, providing them with access to a complete education.
