Highlights from the launch of Tappeti’s Indigenous Collection
’It was an incredibly warm day in Sydney, and it set the scene for an open-air-style open day to launch one of Tappeti’s latest rug collections. Its Lane Cove location provided a generous backdrop against which to hero the vibrant and colourful rugs, each a carefully produced rendition of a stunning original artwork by four talented First Nations artists.
For this collection Tappeti has worked with artists Davinder Hart, Elizabeth (Lizzy) Stageman, Khatija (Khat) Possum, and Cara Shields.
For Lizzy, art acts as a vessel – to celebrate and teach culture, and to tell stories using an inherited language of symbols that she is nevertheless able to reinterpret through her own personal and contemporary lens.’ - Alice Blackwood
