TAPIS Studio proudly presents its newest collection, the NOMAD Collection, an exquisite line of rugs that fuses the art of design with the sensory beauty of nature. Drawing inspiration from the Greek word aesthesis—which means perception through the senses—the NOMAD collection offers an immersive experience that engages touch, sight, and imagination. This collection captures the essence of nature through bold designs and intricate textures, creating a sensory journey that brings the raw beauty of the natural world into your home.
The collection is rooted in experiencing cultures, nature, and the senses in their purest form.
Creative Director Micael Carvalho describes the NOMAD Collection as “an invitation to reconnect with the world through touch, scent, and sensation.” This isn’t just a collection of rugs—it’s a multi-sensory experience.
Each piece evokes the feeling of raw materials, exotic spices, and fresh earth. From the lush textures of the Fig Rug to the robust, smoky allure of the Tobacco Runner, TAPIS Studio has crafted a line that makes you feel like you’re walking on nature itself.
A Journey Through Scent and Texture
The NOMAD Collection celebrates the idea that rugs are more than just functional – they infuse your home with nature’s scents, textures, and sensations. Each rug captures the essence of a particular culture or natural element, like the spicy sharpness of black pepper or the grounding warmth of patchouli.
The result is a series of designs where patterns, colors, and textures are paired with their aromatic inspirations, subtly invoking a feeling as you walk across them. Take the Vetiver Rug, for instance, with its deep, grassy texture and earthy green tones reminiscent of the vetiver plant’s woody, root-like fragrance.
New Shapes and Bold Patterns
The NOMAD Collection introduces fresh design elements, including sleek runner rugs and a mix of geometric with organic patterns.
These new shapes are as versatile as they are striking, with designs suited for both minimalist and more eclectic interiors. Whether you opt for the rich, contrasting black-and-white lines of the Patchouli Rug or the playful, contemporary stripe pattern of the Black Pepper Runner, each piece has a modern yet timeless quality that effortlessly elevates any space.
The Scent of Sophistication
At the core of the NOMAD Collection is TAPIS Studio’s commitment to bringing the essence of remote cultures into the home. Each rug carries a unique sensory profile, from the warm hues dancing across a serene desert landscape to the woodsy and earthy aromas from a remote Indian village.
You feel this journey underfoot and in the mood that they echo.
“The NOMAD Collection is all about sensation,” Carvalho says. “We’ve taken inspiration from natural scents like vetiver, fig, and patchouli, translating them into visual and tactile experiences that enhance the way you feel in a space. It’s about elevating comfort through the lens of nature.”
Bringing Nature Indoors
The NOMAD Collection offers something truly unique. It redefines what it means to craft a luxury rug, blending high-end materials, modern design, and an emotional connection to the earth’s elements. Every rug reminds us that comfort and beauty are not just for the eyes but for the soul.
For anyone looking to elevate their home with designs that resonate with the soul, the NOMAD Collection by TAPIS Studio is a must-see—and, more importantly, a must-feel.
