CC-TAPIS
2025

Introducing Rebus by India Mahdavi, her second collection for cc-tapis—a series of hand-knotted rugs that effortlessly bridges the worlds of art and design. Using graphic elements, this collection crafts a visual language that is at once cryptic and playful.

India Mahdavi has designed an intricate puzzle that transcends the obvious, transforming words, phrases, and ideas into bold, unexpected forms. Each piece in the Rebus collection blends playful abstraction with symbolism, creating a figurative language that invites viewers to interpret and uncover the hidden clues woven into its surface.

Produced in cc-tapis’ atelier in Nepal, each design’s signature soft fade effect emerges from a meticulous artisanal process. By carefully alternating woolen threads with varying saturations, the rugs achieve a color palette that is both subtle and striking
