Curves and movement: Twist is the result of a journey parallel to the rigorous geometric research that Rodolfo Dordoni has deepened with Amini over time. The sinuous patterns of the carpets are enriched by the interplay of chromatic planes, which infuse depth into the design. The foreground fillings stand out thanks to the sheen of silk and the higher pile, which lends them a delicate softness compared to the background.

From 16 to 21 April at the Salone del Mobile, Hall 24 – Stand L11, Amini presents its new collections: Verner Panton, Fede Cheti, Rodolfo Dordoni.

With a dedicated staging at the brand showroom on Via Borgogna in Milan, Amini presents proposals for the Contract world and the new Architectural line, conceived by Amini Studio with the artistic direction of Elisa Ossino Studio.

A luxuriant imagination for the Giardino carpet by Carlotta Fortuna, a random and cluttered spray of flowers and blades of grass that embody the overwhelming and regenerative strength of nature itself. It is represented here in a basic, quick and thoughtful sign, like the free brush strokes on a painter’s canvas. Nature, therefore, is the protagonist and the inspiration comes from Botticelli’s Primavera and from its flora full of symbolism: the suggestion of the Renaissance masterpiece is noted in the colour range of the flowers and background, which make this hand-knotted carpet a refined and contemporary work of craftsmanship.

Amini Brothers Company celebrate their important 60th anniversary in the elegant rooms of Villa Erba, set in a marvellous context overlooking Lake Como.

Amini is presenting an exhibition dedicated to a selection of fine Afghan wool carpets hand carded and twisted, made in villages of northern Afghanistan, where symbols and knotting techniques are passed down from family to family, and differ in each village. Amini’s Afghan looms are certified by Label Step, demonstrating its on-going commitment to economic, environmental and social sustainability.

These rugs can speak to us through symbols, abstract geometries and code signs. Their natural tones recall the earth, its history and its remains. Their decorations are basic, yet mysterious messages sent from ancient ancestors. And this is how Pangea, Nomadic, Collective and One of a kind were developed, carpets with a strong tribal flavor united by the search for a sign.

On the exhibition route we come across the Isola Orange carpet from Amini, inspired by the technical patterns designed by Colombo to fit out the Hoecht stand for the Düsseldorf plastics trade fair in 1970. The carpet was selected because the colors, shapes and lines perfectly reflect the futuristic visions of this brilliant, modern designer.

Three different proposals united by Amini’s keen research on the most precious natural yarns. Alpaca wool, Linen and a selection of fine Indian wools, all hand-woven: Naua organic black, Nilo charcoal and Jackie cream. A neutral and delicate moodboard highlighting materials and the texture of the fleece.

Decorative element, object of exchange, expression of local cultures and traditions: many are the roles played by the carpet throughout history. Weaving Nature is an installation inspired by the carpet’s most ancient role, when, above all, it represented a shelter, primary source of well-being, warmth, and energy. The installation and its inspiration are entrusted to an evocative video, reminiscent of the harmony and deep emotions that the relationship with simple and natural materials still manages to arouse in us.

Amini signs an exceptional partnership with Label Step, the independent non-profit organization committed to guaranteeing the well-being of workers in the handmade carpet industry and the quality of the environment in which they operate. The initiative aims at sharing specific objectives, a natural consequence of a holistic vision that has always guided Amini’s choices.

There are new days ahead of us, filled with more creativity and resourcefulness than ever. Around the corner, many are the blessings the future holds. Among the upcoming news, new designs, new collaborations, and a brand new catalog.

In the splendid setting of the Amalfi coast, 300 meters above the sea level, the Belmond Hotel Caruso stands out perched on the mountain among the lemon and the olive trees of Ravello.

Abstract Room is the first appointment of From the Looms, the series of events that Amini dedicates to the launch of the new collection 2021.

An object is the concrete outcome of an idea; it is born from an articulated process of translation of a creative and technical project. Elisa Ossino talks about her working method and the genesis of the Ritagli collection, driven by the research for a balance between analogue and digital, tradition and innovation.

Villa Luce, a splendid residence built in 1840 and located on the shore of Lake Como, is an ode to nature and fine living. A household reflecting all the beauty and elegance that the surroundings offer. On the floor of the colorful living room, Esagoni by Gio Ponti, Amini’s carpet from the Design Icons collection.

Soft fleeces, unique weavings. The research and analysis of different shades and textures have shaped the Amini Lab, a program dedicated to the offer of sophisticated proposals and original color schemes to achieve always new ways to dress your home according to the latest trends. A studio focused on creating innovative solutions in order to style your interiors in a personal and creative manner. 

When the world stops, the mind flies. Interviewed within the walls of his Milanese apartment, Rodolfo Dordoni talks about work, objects, family, projects, and discoveries.

The declination of custom made project expands to the nautical sector, through the collaboration with Cantieri Sanlorenzo and the supply of carpets able to enhance the excellence of the design that has characterized the company for more than fifty years.

Carpets Taranto and Diamantina of Gio Ponti Collection were included in the interior project of architect Daniele Loscalzo Moscheri for the design of a duplex apartment in Moscow. Together with the Icons rugs, a selection of custom Whisper in neutral colors define the spaces and highlight the contemporary and warm design of the apartment.

Carpets Sole-Luna, Diamantina and Sorrento of Gio Ponti Collection were chosen for the latest project of interior design by Gérarde Faivre in collaboration with FGF; an apartment in Boulevard Saint-Germain, 7th Arrondissement, with a vintage and charming atmosphere.

Wool, a fiber used since ancient times that maintains unchanged its modernity and its innate properties: fineness, resistance, and lighter and earthy tones. A material tied to local traditions and processes coming from sustainable pastures and farms.

A carpet that embodies all the values of the Berber tradition, with clear contemporary expressions. Designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, the carpet plays with geometries, and the interpretation of the materials becomes rudimentary and spontaneous.

Tones, shapes and multiple suggestions of the natural world are the elements inspiring the new collection of outdoor rugs, designed by textile designer Carlotta Fortuna. In balance between functionality, respect for the environment and innovative aesthetics, this corpus of rugs stands out for its resistance to atmospheric agents and extraordinary tactile and visual softness.

“Our production handcrafted, based on traditional techniques, and all materials we use have natural origins. But our commitment toward sustainability is equal to any company pay attention to quality and to the working conditions of the whole chain: from the cultivation of cotton, jute, and hemp to the farms from which we obtain our wool…”

The geometric figures are protagonists of a continuous play of counterpoints and continuous geometric echoes, while the creative freedom, at the heart of the Contemporary collection, finds in Teorema carpets a three-dimensional and distinctive graphic interpretation.

Following this philosophy, Amini participates with Plain and Patina, two rugs with different characteristics that complement two of the key areas of the sensory journey set up in the halls of Palazzo Morando: the garden and the night area.

A versatile architect and designer, she ranks today among the most authoritative names in the field of interior design.
She founded Elisa Ossino Studio and is a co-founder of the H+O brand.

“I like spaces that do not to represent reality too closely. Art is an inspiration in this sense: when I design a space I elevate it to a mere abstraction, I like it to be suspended and dreamlike. I try to arrange it so that the elements decorate the space as they would a painting. Space must be the translation of a moment, convey a feeling.”

Architect and texile designer
Design Department Director of Amini Brothers Company

“If I had to think about the originality of a carpet that hasn’t been designed yet, I would focus on craftsmanship; I would look closely at weavers, try to learn their secrets and, on this basis, I would try to invent new techniques. I would spend time studying history, along with the now-forgotten symbols forgotten; I would look for spirituality. Surely, striving for research, into new materials, looking at rejected samples will allow us to develop new aesthetic forms, new techniques, new types of language that we are still unaware of today…”
