Cornelius Comanns is a German Product Designer with interests reaching far into different design disciplines. He studied Industrial Design in Munich and Product Design at the Royal College of Art in London. Already during his studies he gained experiences working with large design oriented companies. His portfolio spans from Automotive Design to Furniture and Product Design. Cornelius' projects are often based on a strong conceptual idea that serves as a base to develop the form. Even though Graphic Design is not his main expertise, such a competition provides an opportunity to show a Product Designer's perspective on carpet design.
About the design
The Volcano Rug was created by shining different coloured lights onto a three-dimensional polygonal surface. This was inspired by the play of light and shadow on rocks at dawn. This method can be used to create numerous patterns that are different in colour and shape.
Specifications
Description
Handtufted carpets are made by hand using high quality raw materials, but rather than having knots that need to be tied, a special ”tufting gun” is used to push loops of yarn through a scrim (pre-woven backing).
The last stage in the production is trimming the pile to the desired length, thereby exposing the thread ends for a softer pile.
This technique allows for a quick and effective process and gives the weaver more freedom and range to create detailed patterns and shapes otherwise restricted in handknotted carpets. The end result is a long lasting high quality carpet at an affordable price.
Material
Wool is a natural textile fibre and one of the most sought after materials for rug making. Wool rugs are highly durable and perfectly capable of resisting wear and tear of every day use. Wool has a naturally dirt-repelling effect and is easy to keep clean. It is also flame resistant and characteristically retains it’s shape so that the pile of the rug always rises.
Care & Fair
We are proud to be part of the organization CARE & FAIR. Their mission is to improve the living conditions of carpet weavers in India and their families through education and health
