Ténéré

Cassina partners with the Golran company to produce the Ténéré rugs, made entirely hand-made by artisans who employ jute weaving techniques, a legacy of instruction passed down from one generation to the next, adding value to the Cassina contemporary design. Two models of the rug are available, each with its own style of weaving. Both come in three colourways and two sizes, for a total of 12 products, as well as a custom version to meet the needs of any home. Thanks to the materials and techniques with which it is produced, Ténéré celebrates the textural essence of nature in every detail – from the colours to the decorative patterns, and from the material to the weaving process. The Policromo model features the use of three natural colours that, woven together, create minimalist striped and diamond patterns. Each rug has one colour for the base, one for the diagonal lines and another for the patterns, ranging from vinaccia colour to cord or white. The Barcode style rug is distinguished by a single colour, selected from vinaccia, cord or white, with a high-low pile technique that employs two types of weave. The higher pile surface is produced with a traditional weave while the lower pile is obtained through a kilim technique, typical of Anatolian rugs.
