Those with a more highly developed sense of taste, who dream, who are desirious - artists, architects and interior designers - constantly exploit and perpetually expand upon the deep roots of such richness and originality. Their choices are inscribed on the décors of official spaces, State buildings, hotels and private residences: the visit of His Holiness Benedict XVI, the Senate, the National Assembly, the Hotel Bristol, the Hotel Crillon, Restaurant Laurent, the fashion shows of Paris’ houses of Haute Couture, the Hotel du Cap à Antibes. Among the latter cited are Serge Gainsbourg, Catherine Deneuve, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the Princess Lee Radziwill, Queen Astrid and King Albert of Belgium, Yves Mathieu Saint-Laurent, the Princess of Yugoslavia, Madame Hèlene Arpels.

These carpets and rugs are simply there for our confort and pleasure. Making one’s selection among the in-house collections is like scanning the world and its history – enchantment “Postcard from Phileas Fogg,” “Cappadocian Vertigo,” “Galilean Obsession,” “Mirror of the Orient,” “The Gardens of Versailles,” “Souvenir of Ispahan,” “Seduction with,” “Lapland Reindeer,” “Ballet of the Two Aztecs,” “Casa Africa,” “Manhattan,” “Inca Dream,” “Mystery of the Nile.” Tomorrow, out of other creations there will be a fundamental expansion in the depth of designs. New shadings will be introduced and new natural or manmade fibers taken into consideration.

To be at the peak of one’s trade is a grand and noble ambition.
