An Eighty-Year Story: From Persia to Milan

The story of CC-Tapis does not begin in 2001, but in 1943, when the Chamszadeh family founded in Strasbourg a maison specialising in hand-knotted Persian rugs, becoming a point of reference in France for the quality and culture of the Oriental rug. When Nelcya Chamszadeh and Fabrizio Cantoni — who met during hotel management studies in Switzerland — decided to found their own brand, they carried that heritage with them and reinvented it: the same artisan care, a new visual language. In Milan they met Daniele Lora, who became art director and third partner, giving the brand's creativity a precise and coherent design direction. "Thanks to Milan we are what we are today", declares Nelcya Chamszadeh.

The Art of the Tibetan Knot: 8 to 24 Weeks per Rug

Every CC-Tapis rug is born in Kathmandu, in the hands of Tibetan artisans who have passed down the Tibetan knotting technique for generations — one of the most complex and prized in the history of weaving worldwide. Creating a CC-Tapis rug requires between 8 and 24 weeks of dedicated work, depending on the size and complexity of the design. Materials are selected with rigour: hand-spun Himalayan wool, extraordinarily soft and resilient, and natural silk for the iridescent reflections that shift with the ambient light.
CC-Tapis's commitment to sustainability is not a marketing statement: it is structural. The company uses exclusively natural materials, eco-compatible dyes, and — for the final washing of the rugs — purified rainwater, minimising the water footprint of production. A production cycle that respects people, materials, and the planet, from spinning to finished product.

Authored Collaborations: World Design Woven into a Rug

CC-Tapis's true strength is its ability to attract the most creative and cross-disciplinary designers on the international scene, transforming the rug into an artistic medium without boundaries. These are not simple commissions: every collaboration is a cultural project in which the designer brings their own visual language and CC-Tapis translates it into textile with singular mastery. This is how collaborations are born with the world's leading designers, including Patricia Urquiola with the Visioni collection, Cristina Celestino with the Envolée collection — botanical decorative motifs in chromatic alternation — Sabine Marcelis with the Stroke collection — plays of transparency and light translated into wool and silk — Kwangho Lee with The Color of Copper — oxidation and matter...
