The second-hand rug Visivone by CC-Tapis, designed by the renowned designer Patricia Urquiola, embodies the subtle balance between artisanal tradition and graphic modernity. Handcrafted in Nepal by Tibetan artisans, this rug stands out with its bold geometric shapes — full circles, intersecting lines, and color contrasts — creating an impression of depth and movement. Inspired by architectural compositions and the visual language of the Bauhaus, Visivone plays with positive and negative spaces and overlays. The choice of shades — beige, bluish gray, black, brick red, and terracotta — offers a sophisticated and warm palette, perfectly suited for contemporary interiors seeking a strong and expressive piece. Woven from Himalayan wool and vegetable silk, each second-hand Visivone rug by Flos is a unique piece that reflects exceptional craftsmanship. Its aesthetic, both rigorous and poetic, makes it much more than a simple floor accessory: it is a graphic work that structures the space while bringing warmth and personality.
Born in Oviedo in 1961, Patricia Urquiola attended the Faculty of Architecture at the Polytechnic University of Madrid and the Polytechnic School of Milan, where she graduated in 1989 with Achille Castiglioni as her thesis supervisor. She was his assistant at the Polytechnic School of Milan from 1990 to 1992. From 1990 to 1996, she worked in the product development department for De Padova, where she collaborated with Vico Magistretti. In 1996, she became head of design at Lissoni Associati. In 2001, Patricia Urquiola opened her own design studio, where she works on design, installations and architecture. In 2005, together with her colleague Eliana Gerotto, Patricia Urquiola developed a collection of lighting for Foscarini. Their Caboche pendant, ceiling, floor and table lamps reinterpret the 1960s plastic bracelet-style crystal chandelier with pendants. After several European boutiques, she has just designed the interior architecture of the sublime Mandarin Oriental in Barcelona. Patricia Urquiola designs both outdoor furniture, with the Pavo real armchair, and accessories for Alessi.

CC-TAPIS
CC-Tapis is an Italian company that manufactures hand-woven contemporary rugs created in Nepal by Tibetan master craftsmen. In 2011, CC-Tapis moved to Milan, where the company is now based. Its artistic director and partner, Daniele Lora, leads a team of designers there that innovate through a new approach to traditional methods. Weighty respect for the materials and culture of the ancestral profession is reflected in CC-Tapis’s environmentally-friendly approach at every stage of production, from spinning the softest Himalayan wool to using purified rainwater. Patricia Urquiola designed the "Visioni" collection for CC-Tapis: a 2-piece series featuring geometric shapes and soft colours.
