Rude Collection by Faye Toogood for cc-Tapis
Irregular shapes and radical textures reveal a collection of rugs made of mischievous motifs and provocative colours which were inspired by the designer’s visit to an exhibition of Francis Bacon’s paintings.
Pairing Toogood’s restless experimentation with cc-tapis’ unmatched craftsmanship, Rude translates the designer’s artworks into experimental and ambitious rugs. Each individual piece is a main character with intriguing titles such as “Tongue-And-Cheek”, “Poking Fun” and “Blue Tit”.
Faye Toogood’s emotional and playful approach has inspired cc-tapis to see new possibilities within their skills and technology.
Textures take on new scale. Planes of colour are developed with greater depth and complexity. For Toogood, the collaboration has pushed the studio to rethink and redefine the objectality of a rug.
“In Rude there is a little of the profane and a little of the profound. Yes, I am poking fun, but I am also making a statement about what it means to inhabit a body. And what that means personally for me: an artist inhabiting a female body that is changing. As time passes, I feel connected to my body in a different way, and I see beauty and sexuality from a wildly different perspective” – explains Faye Toogood.
