Fordite B Rug

Fordite B Rug

DESIGNED BY Patricia Urquiola
FOR CC-tapis

Fordite is a by-product of the car manufacturing industry: a multicoloured stratum of enamel automotive paint that has built up over time within the factory, which is then baked and polished until it resembles a jewel. 

Inspired by this material, Patricia Urquiola has integrated a similar approach to sustainability in the creation of these rugs. 

The Himalayan wool, pure silk and aloe used was sourced from the material excess left over from cc-tapis’s regular production process. 

The rugs maintain the same layered appearance as Fordite, recreated with recycled wool and accented with lurex threads.

Fordite is Proudly made by hand in Nepal.
