Casalis Tweed Carpet
TWEED CARPET
TWEED TWEED CHANEL-INSPIRED CARPET
The Tweed carpet was designed by Liset van der Scheer, who took her inspiration from the iconic Tweed Jacket by Coco Chanel.
The distinctive, irregular surface and the bouclé–like look of the carpet was achieved through a vertical and horizontal hand tufting technique, giving the carpet a haute couture feel.
Produced in a unique combination of wool and viscose yarns and available in 10 warm natural colours, the Tweed carpet range adds an air of elegance, richness and sophistication to any room. The Tweed carpet can be made to measure and is available with or without fringed ends.

DESIGNER
LISET VAN DER SCHEER
From ' 79 onwards Liset van der Scheer has worked as industrial textile designer and colour consultant.
In recent years, she has particularly specialised in carpet design. She has applied the years of experience she gained as a yarn designer.
First for knitting yarns and later for the carpet industry, to her carpet designs. She wants to work further on the basis of the expression of the yarn.
The challenge of working with textiles for her was to be found in the application of mostly traditional materials in innovative ways or the use of new materials with existing production processes. In this way she sought to extend the limits of possibility.
Traditionally seen, the changes in textiles were achieved through the variation of pattern, structure and colour. Colour is dependent on combination, structure, and the space in which a colour is located as well. Each colour has its own strength of appeal.
She wanted to examine the limits by using new and for the most part unusual raw materials and existing or newly designed yarns in a totally different way.
Her career started as a colourist at a textile printing company. Over a period of 2 years she has produced more than 500 colour patterns, and observing colour has become second nature to her.
Discovering the right relationship and finding that right combination, is a matter of intuition for her, there are ultimately no words to describe this.
