Biophilic Series

Name: Tai Ping
Price range: $

In keeping with its long history of ethical design, Tai Ping is proud to present the Biophilic Program with 16 environmentally-conscious carpets. The biophilic concept of design, which influenced these new works, recognises the innate human desire to be surrounded by nature. These sustainable compositions bloom, sprout and warp, mimicking organic forms of the outside world. Raw, natural fibres remain undyed, eliminating a water-consuming step of the manufacturing process and simultaneously creating a soothing and distinctive palette of whites, creams, beiges, browns and greys.

The Biophilic Series introduces eight hybrid-tufted carpets, each one a plush testament to elegant simplicity. Neutral palettes with subtle nuances lend themselves to geometric designs, creating accessible, adaptable pieces. The series, rendered primarily in wool with touches of flax, bamboo, felted wool and jute to introduce contrasting sheen, plays with the concepts of light and reflection. Rough and irregular patches communicate hand gestures of artisanal techniques, imbuing each piece with a wild authenticity.

The Biophilic Program

Biophilic Collection

The eight couture offerings in the Biophilic Collection are named after essential oil plants with designs that were extracted from nature. Taking inspiration from the natural Japanese tie dye technique of Shibori, these compositions create an impression of ink. Various shades of wools – from super whites to a range of Berber, felted, and lacet shaped – are juxtaposed with multiple silk types, cashmere blend, jute and flax. The whole array of Tai Ping’s hand-tufting expertise is on display in this collection, including gradation, multi-level pile heights and specialty sheering, resulting in remarkably intricate designs.
