The carpet
collection FIRENZE is born from the collaboration between Sebastiano Tosi and
Lapo Ciatti, inviting us to look higher and to be inebriated by beauty.
In a game
of mirrors the magnificence of some of Florence's most beautiful architecture,
which can only be enjoyed from below, is brought to the earth and to the
interior of the cupolas of the Medicean Chapels, the ceiling of the Basilica of
San Lorenzo become extraordinary
subjects of this series of 5 carpets.
Available
in two shapes (rectangular and round) in 2 sizes each, the rugs of the FIRENZE
carpet collection are made of velvet tufting.
The carpets
are fire resistant with good acoustic absorption, anti-slippery and Luxury Lc5
class, suitable for residential and professional use. FIRENZE carpet collection
is ideal if you want to give charm and a touch of magic to the environment,
whether classic or contemporary. Attracted by the softness of the carpets,
respecting the beauty of art and maybe also to dominate a vague sense of
vertigo, light footprints will move on otherwise inaccessible surfaces.
" The sublime always been a concept – or, even
better, a longing – of Man that naturally aims at the highest peaks. Elevating
and outdoing oneself, transcending and ascending, has always been an
inclination and ambition for who does not live passively his own existence: the
astonishment of a summit covered with snow, the attempt to get closer to the
sky by building infinite skyscrapers, or the breathtaking moment when we pose
our eyes on the magnificence of a church’s dome.
The concept of sublime is undoubtedly
subjective, and it’s based on the experience of the human mind, on the role
that the imaginary plays on all of us. I tried to transform this need of
“transcending”, the drive towards the noble, the infinite in a more immanent
concept: overturning the point of view, the man becomes omnipotence persuaded by
the romantic illusion of walking on a dome, laying on an ancient ceiling, or
losing oneself in the fascinating sight of an old sacristy. "
