Legami Collection

Name: Tai Ping
Price range: $

Tai Ping has collaborated with pioneering Italian designer Elena Salmistraro on a new collection of six hand-tufted rugs, Legami. The collection takes inspiration from the human hand, both as a graphic and conceptual theme, which is recognised universally as a symbol of human connection and exchange.

Using stylised graphics that outline sinuous and complex shapes, Elena Salmistraro has developed the concept in a series of rugs, one for each finger - circular for the thumb, and rectangular for the forefinger, middle, ring and little fingers - plus a final carpet, dedicated to the hand itself, bearing an irregular shape whose edges follow the lines of the motifs.
