Techno Music Informs This Vibrant Rug Collection For CC-Tapis

Pulsating motifs come to life in DiscoRectangle, Scottish interior designer Sam Buckley’s latest joint effort with the Milan manufacturer—and his first publicly available collection. The polymath creative (he’s also a DJ) has collaborated with CC-Tapis cofounders Fabrizio Cantoni and Nelcya Chamszadeh for some 15 years, contributing to the brand’s 2010 debut at Superstudio during Salone del Mobile and devising such private (yet viral) interiors commissions as the Memphis-inspired Merchiston Crescent Victorian villa in Edinburgh. The collection, comprising four pill-shape rugs and a runner, “is an exploration of relational aesthetics and mathematical systems in form,” Buckley says. Pulling from both stripped-back techno music and collectible design, he builds topographically stacked, color-drenched blocks, bands, and arcs in fizzy-sweet high notes grounded by heraldic tones. The five patterns are hand-tufted of Himalayan wool on cotton backing by Nepalese artisans. cc-tapis.com, studiosambuckley.com
