Cross-stich reinvented

When VISI went to the Plascon Trend Talk 4 we were surprised and thrilled to find that nearly every speaker included Charlotte Lancelot in their presentation. We know we got there first though, in our SPRING FLING edition.

Luxembourg-based designer Charlotte Lancelot is intrigued by our emotional attachment to objects. She is also fascinated by the modernisation of old techniques and handcrafts, which is why she reinterpreted the traditional art of tapestry-making into a contemporary rug range for Spanish company Gandia Blasco. The Canevas range, including this Flower Rug (R18 600), as well as pouffes (R11 900) and scatters (R1 790) makes embroidery as at home on the wall as it is on the floor, creating unexpectedly fresh interiors. Who would have though cross-stitching could be so stylish?
