Secondopiano 2 Teppich von Zpstudio für Ege Carpets, 2018

Secondopiano is a series of rugs produced in collaboration with the company Ege, based on exclusive designs by Zpstudio. The rugs are produced in a limited edition.

The concept of this project developed from the idea of transferring just a hint of a third dimension to the two-dimensional item. It is as though the rug manages to open a connecting window to other environments or form a stairway leading to a 'second floor', hence the name 'secondopiano'.

The textured finish is obtained through the digital processing of photographs taken by the designers. The scenes depict portions of architecture where staircases play a leading role. The images were then post-produced by overlapping several layers (some of which reproduce tactile surfaces such as cement and brick) and then treated with colors from the Ege palette with elegant saturated tones - pinks, earthy shades, and teal blues. The rugs are finished with a slip-proof backing; they are produced using inkjets, spraying onto a polyamide support.
