CARTOUCHE

DESIGN : LOLA MERCIER

.      . 

From waste to art, recalling the motif of ancient Egypt through recycled cotton.

Cartouche is a project in partnership with A.P.E, a weaving workshop in Cairo whose raw material comes from waste fabrics (cotton). Between art and design, carpets and bags are drawn from compositions inspired by hieroglyphs, woven by hand on very rudimentary crafts. The colors and the materials of these unique pieces adapt according to the supplies.
