SAHARA CARPETS
Designed by Cassina
The Sahara rug is born from a contemporary reinterpretation of the Berber rugs of the Nomad dessert tribes on which primitive, rapid and instinctive marks have been drawn.

CASSINA
Since 1973, Cassina has established a unique method of reinterpreting the great classic designs through valorisation of their authenticity and culture, giving rise to the emblematic Cassina iMaestri Collection.
Officially introduced 50 years ago, this collection had its origins in a process begun in 1965 with txhe mass production of the first four models designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand.
Over time, the collection has amassed some of the most iconic pieces of 20th century furniture with works by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Erik Gunnar Asplund, Charlotte Perriand, Franco Albini, Le Corbusier, Marco Zanuso, Ico Parisi and Giacomo Balla.
In 2023, for its 50th anniversary, the Cassina iMaestri Collection was expanded to welcome new authors who have written design history and, as a result, have gained rightful entry to this circle: Vico Magistretti, Gio Ponti, Carlo Scarpa – already included in the Cassina portfolio – and, in anticipation of the launch of their lighting collection in 2024, Charles and Ray Eames.

RUG
The woolly softness of the rug becomes a welcoming place where you can sit, practice sport or observe the outside from a new point of view.
TECHNIQUE
ANTRA The Tantra rug stems from the hand loom technique, in which production is carried out on a loom using entirely manual processes.
DETAIL
Its geometric pattern, obtained by repeating a simple pattern memorized by the weaver, recalls the rigorous and accurate decorations that can be seen in many Indian temples where colour is used in a formal manner. Available in grey and blue-grey in a yarn made with a mix of viscose and recycled PET.
