The collaboration between designer Sebastien Caporusso and Ashtari blossomed from a mutual admiration for each other’s work. Ashtari has consistently found inspiration in Sebastien’s pure and distinctive creations, crafted from the most exquisite materials. The shared pursuit of perfection served as a common ground that brought us together. Sebastien, in turn, harbored a profound fascination for hand-knotted carpets, appreciating every step of the intricate process involved in bringing these pieces to life.
It was through this shared passion that the idea to design two beautiful carpets emerged during our interactions. Sebastien contributed his unique designs, and Wendy Guns played a pivotal role in overseeing the entire carpet production process, ensuring meticulous attention to detail from start to finish.
The outcome is truly impressive – two exceptionally distinct designs that we are eager to unveil at the upcoming Collectible design fair. Path and Moon.
