Inspired by La Poème de l’Angle Droit, the art book published in 250 numbered copies that encapsulates Le Corbusier's vision of architecture and humanity, the Cassina Tapis La Main Ouverte rug reproduces a seven-colour lithograph produced at the historic Parisian printing house Studio Mourlot. The collage depicts an open hand, the symbol of the Indian city of Chandigarh, designed in the 1950s by Le Corbusier himself. This gesture, a key image in the master's thinking, represents the offering made and received, a universal metaphor for generosity and sharing.
The uniqueness of the rug also lies in its refined craftsmanship: each piece is composed of 72,300 knots per square metre, individually knotted by hand in a process that celebrates the value of the human touch and amplifies its symbolic meaning. Each knot becomes part of a visual and tactile narrative, a tribute to craftsmanship and the art of making.
Available in two sizes, the Cassina Tapis La Main Ouverte rug fits discreetly and characterfully into any environment, from the living room to the bedroom, becoming a piece of furniture that enriches the space with style, depth and personality.
