Chado Rug
DESIGNED BY Designcorporate
FOR Poltrona Frau
The Chado line tells of processing techniques that have always belonged to the culture of the rug.
Delicate bamboo silk threads and thick linen thread worked following the ancient knotting procedure create rugs of a three-dimensional value. Indeed, in nomadic civilisations, rugs defined living spaces and needed a certain thickness to isolate from the ground, like a sort of textile insulation.In the Chado rugs, the minuscule knots are then cut one by one following a working called cut.
This gives a velvety, constantly changing surface effect where the shininess of the silk offsets the opacity of the linen, which also helps add fullness to the texture. Designcorporate intertwines the textured charm of the knotting with the visual theme evoked by the name “Chado”, tea ceremony in Japanese.
