Known for her masterful manipulation of colour and pushing the boundaries of materiality and manufacturing processes to create the unexpected, Rotterdam-based designer Sabine Marcelis debuts a new rug collection for cc-tapis dubbed Stroke.
Each room is envisioned as a blank canvas and the rug as the singular gesture onto which one builds a composition. Starting from these domestic associations,
Marcelis considers the expressive potential of everyday life.
“The house is a like a canvas and we are constantly creating drawings and marks and traces with our daily gestures. Stokes, wipes, brushes, streaks – surfaces become a temporary canvas,” says the designer.
“The rugs capture two of those gestures in a permanent state.”
