Ken Scott Collection | Carpet Edition

[Concept]

An installation bursting with energy and color, paying tribute to Ken Scott’s 8 iconic flowers reinterpreted through the craftsmanship of Carpet Edition, a visual experience that embraces the cycle of life. Eula, Doktor Zinn, Vanità, Frida, Lady S, Scarabeo, Ipomea 2, and My Lady transform into magnificent shaped tapestries.

Known as the “Fashion Gardener“, Ken Scott had a unique ability to transform floral fantasies into extraordinary works of art: flowers were at the heart of his creations, embodying the beauty and energy of nature in a distinct and unmistakable artistic expression. These shaped tapestries, with their iconic flowers, not only represent the peak of life with their lush beauty but also birth and growth. They become symbols of nourishing, like buds blossoming into full bloom, carrying a sense of regenerative vitality.
