Aminima

Tiret

The Tiret Collection super-imposes layers of Tirets (dashes in French) onto the background, creating a random and organic effect. The colours in the different layers can be customized to create a very subtle, tonal effect.

Série

The Série Collection connects the art on the wall with the art on the floor. Marcel Zelmanovitch has created 9 Series of 9 paintings each. The idea is for a client to select a Series which appeals to them, and then choose one image from that series for the carpet, while the images from the series are hung on the wall.

Reflet

Kimono

The Kimono collection is inspired by ancient Japanese Kimono designs. Zelmanovitch has interpreted the colours, shapes and compositions into a fascinating set of carpets. Available in qualities up to 200,000 knots, the pieces are simply outstanding. Please visit our showroom to see images of the Kimono fabrics which inspired these wonderful designs.

Grand Fleuve

The Grand Fleuve collection is meant to evoke the landscape of Africa: its arid soils, rough vegetation, mountains and valleys, dotted with pockets of lushness. The carpet pile is a luxurious 3/4 inch high, with a knot density of 150,000.

SOL

This collection is inspired by farm fields, viewed from up high, as if from an airplane. Although bold and geometric, none of the lines are perfectly straight, thus giving the carpets a very organic feel.

STONES

The inspiration of this collection were geological cross-sections. The viewer is reminded of the fissures and folds which penetrate deep into the Earth below.

PERROQUETS

The theme of this collection was to highlight the uniqueness of Nepal's rugs by drawing parallels between untreated yarn, first dyed and then woven, and parrots' feathers.

This theme includes several designs which draw their inspiration from the birds' plumage and bring to mind their audacious harmonies.

VITRAIL

The facades of London's ancient buildings often have a vertical symmetry around which the structure and windows are arranged. This collection plays on the oppositions between hot and cold, dark and light and also evokes the art of stained glass creation.

Different Ciel

Exploring the idea of matching tones, this collection plays on the slight differences in shades of two colours used, highlighting the assorted materials utilized to make the rugs.

Peintures

Behind each rug in this collection is a painting that Marcel Zelmanovitch interprets freely. The yarn is silky, the design well-defined, the full effect producing a fine moire.
