RUGS & MATS
Most of Armani/Casa rugs are entirely handmade by Nepalese artisans who master
the traditional technique of hand-knotting. The high density, together with the use of
different yarns in terms of colour and composition, permits to obtain exceptional quality
and aesthetics.
The dyeing of the yarns is made by hand and with a constant comparison to master
samples, in order to reduce the discrepancy that naturally occurs from lot to lot. Once
all yarns are ready, artisans begin the knotting: only the most skillful artisans can work
on Armani/Casa designs, since their incredibly rich scales of shaded colours need
frequent changes of yarn that can be managed only by the best long-experienced
knotters.
After the knotting, each rug is washed and dried to revive colours. The drying phase
is carried out in open-air environments to avoid aggressive treatments that could
compromise the quality of the fibers. If the carpet features an accentuated three-
dimensionality of the surface, a final scissor cutting is performed by hand.
The Armani/Casa collection of rugs comprises also loom-weaved options.
