Inspired by nature.
Earth is a carpet. Inspired by a desire to reconnect with nature, designer Liset van der Scheer wanted to bring the experience of wandering through a forest into the interior sphere. To realise her vision, Casalis flexed their creative and technological skills, employing an innovative, 3D tufting technique to create a 3D structured carpet that mimics the texture and appearance of moss.
In order to truly live up to the name of EARTH, Casalis resolved to use all-natural materials in the creation of the collection. This included organic wool, natural latex, and dyes used to colour the carpets which have been appropriately named after earthly elements - CLOUD, FOREST, MOSS, STONE, SAND and DUST – dyed to match their namesake.
The EARTH carpet uses organic wool in the fabric and natural latex as opposed to synthetic glues. Casalis dedicated three years of research to fully realise a product that would meet this requirement. Particular attention was given to finding a natural cloth onto which a carpet could be tufted as they intended, and investigated methods to manage the less stable character of the fabric. Casalis needed to find dyes that could be implemented in an industrial process, which proved to be a particular challenge. After an in-depth search, the right dyes were discovered, which through age old techniques and state-of-the-art technology could colour natural fibers, resulting in the muted shades used in this collection.
