questions to Vincenzo Solenne CEO Luxury Carpet Studio How does a Luxury Carpet Studio product come into being? First of all, it is born from a profound passion for the textile arts and an unwavering commitment to excellence. The close collaboration between our team of designers and the client means we have a clear idea of the aesthetic and functional requirements involved. We carefully select the most prestigious materials, which are worked using traditional artisanal methods - every knot is handmade, ensuring the creation of a unique, high-value product. What lies behind the extremely high quality of your carpets? It’s the result of a combination of key factors, including the use of selected materials like pure silk, lustrous viscose and precious wool, which give the carpet a refined texture and enhanced durability. Every carpet is handmade by highlyskilled artisans using traditional methods that have been handed down for generations. We collaborate with talented designers to create patterns that meet clients’ specific aesthetic requirements. How do you combine tradition and technological innovation? We make carpets that reflect centuries-old artisanal techniques. These are enhanced by the opportunities offered by modern technology. We combine hand knotting with design using advanced digital tools, enabling clients to see how the final result will look and make modifications in real time. We also try out new combinations of materials and treatments. Who is your target client? Our clients are demanding and refined. They are looking for exclusive, personalised products that reflect their tastes and highlight and enrich the most exclusive spaces. What’s your vision of the future? We’ll continue to be pioneers in the luxury carpet sector, strengthening our international presence and collaborating with the most important luxury brands. We intend to invest in researching new, sustainable materials and innovative techniques while keeping the artisanal quality that is our hallmark at the centre of everything we do.
