We launched our collection 'Jaipur Wunderkammer' in 'The Litta Variations" during Milan Design Week in Milan, Italy.
Jaipur Wunderkammer
Jaipur Rugs and Matteo Cibic take you on an eclectic experiential trip to Rajasthan through handmade rugs.
Jaipur Rugs, one of India’s leading producers of handmade carpets, and Italian designer Matteo Cibic have collaborated on a vibrant collection of handcrafted rugs that are inspired by Cibic’s visit to Jaipur, Rajasthan. Cibic has imbued his creative universe with the peculiar architecture and colours of the city and taken inspiration from ancient paintings and the architectonic sundial to design this collection.
The collection is named after Wunderkammern also known as cabinets of curiosities that came into existence in the mid-16th century in Europe. These rooms were repositories for all types of wondrous and exotic objects.
The surreal carpets in this collection give you a peek into a new and contemporary India while helping in promoting a socially inclusive and sustainable business model to transform the handmade carpet industry, and the lives of 40,000 artisans associated with it across 600 villages in some of the most impoverished parts of India.
