Playing with depth, light, and shadow, Cristina Celestino and cc-tapis present Rilievo. A sculptural rug where an embossed pattern gracefully emerges from the surface, creating a three-dimensional interplay of texture and form.
Inspired by organic geometries, the flowing motif frames fields of color and evokes harmonious repetitions that nod to trompe-l'œil and the illusion of movement. Dyed in a natural palette of earthy tones, Rilievo embodies Cristina Celestino’s artistic vision which is expressed through the craftsmanship of expert artisans. Crafted using a handloom technique, this piece explores various pile densities to reinterpret the “Illusione” motif—originally created by Cristina Celestino for Fornace Brioni in 2021 in terracotta—through intricate carving. Blurring the lines between surface and structure, the collection captures a refined interpretation of contemporary design and artisanal craftsmanship.
