Noir Blanc, 1972 Runner

Noir Blanc, 1972 Runner

DESIGNED BY Charlotte Perriand
FOR CC-tapis

Neatly filed away in the Charlotte Perriand archives in Paris, six unpublished colour studies for a series of woven panneaux ouvrants or ‘opening panels’ dated 1972 for the Pierre Blanche building at Les Arcs 1600 ski station have laid untouched for half a century. Today they are brought to life for the first time as a collection of hand-knotted rugs by CC-Tapis, presented on the occasion of Paris Design Week 2023 in an exhibition celebrating Perriand’s unpublished archives and her mastery of colour.

INFO

The Les Arcs Collection respects the ‘grand format’ and ‘petit format’ colour proportions outlined by Perriand in her technical drawings, reproducing the six designs in three sizes: the 300x400cm ‘grand format’, the 230x300cm ‘petit format’, and the 100x350cm runner. Coloured in 12 assorted shades precisely marked out in the borders of each sketch, these documents form a blueprint for each hand-knotted rug crafted from 100% Himalayan wool by Tibetan artisans in Nepal.
