Tai Ping’s Overlay Collection celebrates the handcrafted imperfection of traditional stucco. From Lath to Basecoat to Plaster, each of these twelve rugs represents a distinct layer or finish. A palette of creams, golds, and browns renders the time-worn character of this artisanal technique with warmth; while dull silk and 75/25 wool and silk blend yarns adds shimmering highlights. Varied pile heights and directional tufting create understated, multidimensional effects, and the introduction of single-ply wool unlocks rich, velvety textures.
A newly expanded Presto Box curates the experience of customization, adding facility and speed to the process of colour and material selection. Each fibre displayed has been carefully hand-picked by Tai Ping’s design team, removing the time-intensive step of dyeing yarn. The Presto Box includes both enduring best-selling hues as well as newly developed tones.
Like the sand, water, lime, and stone used to make traditional stucco, these earthen pieces blend effortlessly into the rooms around them, as if they’d organically sprung up there. The beauty and time-worn character of plastered siding translate seamlessly into a tactile experience of warmth and sophistication. Overlay luxuriates in the nuanced reliefs of classic artisanal surfaces, making the collection refined yet versatile, luxurious yet approachable, and technologically innovative.
