the incredible history and fantastic heritage of the Pink City to the world. It
uses the age-old art of handmade carpets to bring prosperity to 40,000 rural
artisans of which 80% are women artisans.
On this occasion Yogesh Chaudhary, Director, Jaipur Rugs said, "It is for the first time that an Italian designer has not
only been inspired by the Indian culture, but has also designed a collection
exclusively for an Indian company. Matteo has created the ‘Jaipur Wunderkammer’collection, inspired by the architecture of Jaipur. He has used mixed geometric
and decorative patterns together and added shades of pink, rose, orange and
peach that are typical to the city. The collection flaunts the strong visual
grammar of the city in a contemporary manner to the global audience."
Jaipur Rugs is also organising "Rug mahotsav". This Mahotsav has already started and will go on till 26th October. A discount of upto 60% can be availed on the rugs during this Mahotsav. The pop and graphical collection uses bold motifs and iconic figures
such as Rajasthani mustachioed soldier, monkeys, triangular flag and popular
views of Jaipur’s buildings and monuments. The Jaipur Wunderkammer collection
has been named after cabinets of curiosities that came into existence in the
mid-16th century. The collection was first launched at Salone Del Mobile in
Milan in April 2019.
