A collection of rugs inspired by the sophisticated interplay of light and shadow created by natural elements such as plants and flowers. Each design is the result of a combination of colour shades that accentuate the realism of every composition and create a three-dimensional effect, lending a distinctive depth to each design.

Designer & architect
Milan, Italy
Graduated in Industrial Design from the Politecnico di Milano in 1992. Riccardo Giovanetti spent his formative years in Milan’s industrial design studios before turning his attention to the ancient craft of hand-knotted carpets. His approach is architectural — structure before decoration, rigour before ornament. Each design in the Shadows Collection is conceived as an object that earns its space rather than filling it.
Every carpet in the Shadows Collection is woven in Asia, with an unbroken hand-knotting tradition stretching back centuries.
Giovanetti’s geometric designs are translated into precise technical drawings, then handed to master artisans whose families have practised this craft for generations. The result is a carpet that carries both inheritances — in equal measure, in every knot.
Tell us your project. Our Milan studio and Asian weavers will create something that exists nowhere else in the world.
