Thanks to the collaboration with Carin Panton, daughter of the designer, and extensive research, Amini enriches its Design Icons catalog with three collections based on Panton's textile designs, characterized by a finely calibrated relationship between colors and geometries: Romantica, Domino, and Mono.
Color becomes the material of the project. The rugs, with their clear and vibrant hues, represent a concentration of positivity and overturn traditional compositional canons based on neutral colors. Suitable for adorning walls or floors, Panton rugs can enliven any type of space and engage in dialogue with artworks and designs from any era.
The Design Process
Romantica by Verner Panton
Color is form and form is color in this collection, which offers six rugs based on Panton's color series and pure geometries of the circle, square, and wave. Romantica rugs are made of high-quality New Zealand wool and hand-tufted with a light high-pile shag. Squares and circles, with concentric frame motifs, are also available in the variant with the inverted color series, while wave rugs, in two sizes, are distinguished by a Purple background. They are customizable upon request, respecting the formal and chromatic characteristics of the collection.
Domino by Verner Panton
Inspired by a project developed in 1974, the collection features ten square modules of identical size (60x60 cm) defined by as many geometric patterns in the eight colors of Panton's color series. Circles, squares, waves, stripes, quarters of a circle, and quarters of a square, made of fine wool and hand-tufted, lend themselves to be freely composed to create various patterns, both on the floor and on the wall, ensuring the acoustic comfort of the environments. They are customizable upon request, respecting the formal and chromatic characteristics of the collection.
Mono by Verner Panton
The eight shades of the color series developed by Panton in the early 1970s are declined in a line of solid-colored rugs that enhance the chromatic strength of each individual color. The collection is intended for both contract and residential use and is available in wall-to- wall or custom-made versions. It can be made of pure wool or a fine blend of wool and nylon suitable for use in public spaces.
Amini is a brand of ABC (Amini Brothers Company), a company established in 1962 by Sultan Amini. Its advanced and dynamic structure makes it a unique reality in the interior design business, where it is famed for its ability to design, execute and market all kinds of carpet: whether handcrafted or machined; whether contemporary or special limited editions by sophisticated artists; whether “bespoke” or “industrial.” An extraordinary product range, made possible by the efficiency of a tried and tested organization with manufacturing hubs located in several countries, from Nepal to India, from Afghanistan to Turkey and Morocco, where carpet weaving still represents an expression of local culture. And size does matter, not just in terms of geographic extent. A couple of points are enough to explain the scope and production capacity of a company such as ABC: 750,000 square meters of carpets stored in warehouses; over 3 million pieces housed in the huge logistics centre south of Milan, and shipped all over the world every year. It is an industrial vision with an eye to mutual exchange that feeds on the artisan identity of the product while enabling an efficient and needs-centred handling of each production batch. It is no coincidence that bespoke items currently represent more than 25% of the total output.
