Feathers Freeform

Maarten De Ceulaer has always had an affinity for birds. Years ago, he came across the works of John James Audubon and John Gould and ever since has regularly used these illustrations as a source of inspiration. To create each image, De Ceulaer scans, digitally isolates and combines various birds together, often tweaking and morphing them into further abstraction. Shapes, colors, and textures are rearranged in enchanting and absorbing compositions. The collages are then translated into rich and sophisticated rugs, hand-knotted in Himalayan wool and silk. By varying the pile-height a sense of depth is added, emphasizing the feathers’ shapes.

Any CERTIFICATION must be promptly requested to the cc-tapis sales team, when providing all other initial information necessary for the development of the rug/s.

TREATMENTS

cc-tapis does not recommend soil, stain & water, and fire protection treatments for various reasons:
— Soil and stain repellent treatments are not permanent and do not guarantee resistance to liquids at high temperature and PH <7.
— Strong chemicals used can be toxic.
Fire treatment is not recommended as all standard materials offered by cc-tapis have good anti-flammability properties and pass flammability test naturally.
