Carpet Edition has translated Ken Scott's vibrant motifs into the language of textiles, transforming them into a vast collection of rugs, flowers and tapestries which recount the fortunate intersection between design and fashion, two creative worlds which continue to get closer, united by reciprocal affinity.
The Ken Scott Collection pays homage to the famous painter and eclectic designer who left his mark on the creative era of the 60s and 70s.
Flowers, close to the heart of the visionary gardener of fashion, geometric patterns, and animal prints, are the chosen subjects for this collection which crosses the boundaries of interior design to transform into pieces which carry an invaluable artistic legacy.
Every single piece reflects the creative spirit of the American designer, masterfully combining the potential of fabrics with an in-depth study of materials (such as New Zealand wool, Hardtwist, Linen and Tencel), production techniques (multi-level hand tufting) and detailing (velvet pile, bouclé, shag and 3D carving). The result is a collection of rugs and tapestries with stunning dynamic and three-dimensional effects.
The Flower collection, composed of 8 shaped flowers in various dimensions Eula, Doktor Zinn, My Lady, Frida, Scarabeo, Vanità, Ipomea 2 and Lady S, celebrate the beauty of Ken Scott's favourite flower varieties.
Seven of these models (My Lady, Frida, Scarabeo, Vanità, Ipomea 2, Lady S ed Eula) are also available in 100x100 cm tapestry versions, designed to hang on the wall and admire as true pieces of art. Eula is also available in a square 200x300 cm version.
Ken Scott's energetic geometries and bold exploration of colour, influenced by early 20th century artists such as Sonia Delaunay, Paul Klee and Mark Rothko, live on in Geometric pieces Fannie, Infinito, Ysoy, Castelbarco, Labirinto and Manhattan NYC.
The Animalier collection represents the bold and creative side of Ken Scott, who was also a pioneer in conceptualizing and directing fashion shows. Emblematic of this is his famous Circus Collection, inspired by "Circo" in 1968, a revolutionary event which left its mark on fashion at the time.
