Salone 2024 Preview: The Ken Scott Collection by Carpet Edition
The flower power of Ken Scott, the maestro of ultra-floral prints, is alive and well this year at Salone del Mobile.Milano. Carpet Edition and Ken Scott have cross-pollinated to create the Ken Scott Designer Collection, 33 hand-tufted carpets and wall-hangings based on Ken Scott’s archival designs.

Ken Scott was a pioneer in uniting fashion with art. He had a certain aptitude for borrowing from the art world and merging it with textiles.

Some of the world’s most stylish women—from Audrey Hepburn to Jackie Kennedy and Brigitte Bardot—donned his bright and sunny floral designs, which became his trademark. Milan may even feel like a victory lap, since the Indiana-born designer and fashion innovator lived in Milan during the 60s and 70s.

It’s glorious to see the extensive efforts Carpet Edition has undertaken to bring these reinterpretations to life. Thread height combined with production techniques, like pile with various heights, boucle, and shag make the details matter.

The tapestries measure in at 100 x 100 centimeters. These are another example of bold creativity meeting artisanal detail.

More than anything, the pieces from the Ken Scott Collection by Carpet Edition are unique, inimitable, and almost animate. Each is meant to be a “wearable” piece for the home.

“Textiles thus become much more than just decorations, transforming into works of art that define and enrich the spaces in which we live,” Carpet Edition notes.

Certainly, these pieces are transformative. They might turn a blank room into a garden oasis. They bring the outdoors in. Is it nature? Is it art? In the end, aren’t they the same thing?
