OBEETEE Carpets, the foremost manufacturer of handcrafted carpets and rugs in India, is pleased to introduce its newest collection, Impasto, in collaboration with Tissage, another renowned rug atelier in the home furnishings industry.

On May 12, 2023, the collection will be displayed for the first time at OBEETEE Carpet's Delhi flagship store on MG Road. This collection's refined materials and tasteful designs will elevate any living space with a sense of understated luxury.

The collection is influenced by the impasto painting technique, in which paint is applied densely to the canvas to create a three-dimensional effect that adds texture and depth to the painting. This technique of painting was popularised in the 20th century by artists such as Vincent Van Gogh. The Impasto rug collection employs a similar approach to produce texture and dimension in the rugs.

Each design in the collection is made by superimposing multiple motif drawings. Consequently, the resulting rug has a three-dimensional effect that adds visual intrigue to any setting. The collection exemplifies the creativity and innovation that can be accomplished in the rug-making industry.

The rugs in the Impasto collection feature a shimmering blend of different types of wools and silks and an innovative new cross-knitting technique that simulates additional depth in specific areas. This rug's patterns were inspired by Japanese charcoal art. The juxtaposition of these lovely motifs atop an abstract canvas creates a compelling and dramatic expression of the designer's vision.

Ms. Angelique Dhama, CEO, OBEETEE Carpets - Retail, said of the collection,

"The Impasto collection is a stunning and distinctive addition to our assortment of handcrafted carpets. It exemplifies the inventiveness and originality that can be achieved in the world of rug making. We are thrilled to partner with Tissage to offer this exquisite collection to our clients. The collection's distinctive design philosophy employs cutting-edge techniques to create a breathtaking and distinctive collection that will make a statement in any setting. The Impasto collection is a tribute to the ingenuity and skill of artisans, and we are thrilled to exhibit it in our Delhi showroom."

Further to the unveiling, Mr. Nikhil Kapoor, Creative Director of Tissage, stated:

"Handmade rugs have become a canvas for storytelling. They provide a means of expression, similar to any other respected art form. The Impasto collection is one of Tissage's most cherished artistic expressions. We drew elements from our archives spanning four generations of carpet design. As a tribute to the masters of the eponymous painting technique, juxtaposed motifs are superimposed. Certain motifs have been enlarged disproportionately for dramatic effect, ensuring that each rug in the collection becomes the focal point of the room it inhabits."

The introduction of the Impasto collection is a thrilling occasion for OBEETEE Carpets and Tissage, who share a passion for creating one-of-a-kind and breathtaking works of art that highlight the beauty of hand-knotted carpets. The collection is certain to be a success with audiences who value the artistry and craftsmanship required to create these exquisite pieces.
