Biophilic Collection

In keeping with its long history of ethical design, Tai Ping is proud to present the Biophilic Program with 16 environmentally-conscious carpets. The biophilic concept of design, which influenced these new works, recognises the innate human desire to be surrounded by nature. These sustainable compositions bloom and warp, mimicking organic forms of the outside world. Raw, natural fibres remain undyed, eliminating a water-consuming step of the manufacturing process and simultaneously creating a soothing and distinctive palette of whites, creams, beiges, and greys.

The eight couture offerings in the Biophilic Collection are named after essential oil plants with designs that were extracted from nature. Taking inspiration from the natural Japanese tie dye technique of Shibori, these compositions create an impression of ink. Various shades of wools – from super whites to a range of Berber, felted, and lacet shaped – are juxtaposed with multiple silk types, cashmere blend, jute and flax. The whole array of Tai Ping’s hand-tufting expertise is on display in this collection, including gradation, multi-level pile heights and specialty shearing, resulting in remarkably intricate designs.
