Every one of the seven Siamo tutti uno rugs
is, in fact, a tribute to the lifestyle of the
Amazon populations: the designs of the
Urihi and Kyrin are inspired by the Kaiapó
body paintings, the Memby evoke childhood
decorations, the graphics of the Exas is a
message of good health, and the form of
each one echo the arrow used for hunting.
Made by hand, as all of the rugs in the Hand
Made collection, in this case in wool and
Hardtwist, can be used individually or in
combination freely matching bright colors
and geometric designs.
To contribute in a concrete way to the
conservation and defense of the Earth and
of indigenous populations, Carpet Edition
has decided to contribute a percentage of
the sales of every carpet in the Siamo tutti
uno collection to Survival International,
the worldwide movement dedicated to
indigenous populations (www.survival.
it). Formed in 1969 by a group of people
profoundly disturbed by the extermination
of Amazonian Indians, Survival fights to
defend the lives, land and future of these
populations who should have the same
rights as all contemporary societies, as
told in the extraordinary book We are one
(Logos editions), to which the collection
owes its name.
