Biophilic Series
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, sprout 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, browns and greys.
The Biophilic Series introduces eight hybrid-tufted carpets, each one a plush testament to elegant simplicity. Neutral palettes with subtle nuances lend themselves to geometric designs, creating accessible, adaptable pieces. The series, rendered primarily in wool with touches of flax, bamboo, felted wool and jute to introduce contrasting sheen, plays with the concepts of light and reflection. Rough and irregular patches communicate hand gestures of artisanal techniques, imbuing each piece with a wild authenticity.
