Richard Ebbers

This striking vintage rug by Tisca represents the expressive craftsmanship of the 1980s and stands as a strong example of hand-knotted textile art from the period. With its generous 160 × 240 cm size, it works beautifully as a focal piece in a living room, dining area, or thoughtfully curated interior.

The rug features a bold abstract composition in rich red, warm brown, and balanced neutral tones, evoking the painterly language and avant-garde sensibility of late 20th-century design. Its dynamic layout and organic forms add warmth, depth, and character, making it an excellent complement to modern, mid-century, or eclectic interiors.

This piece belongs to the “Forster” model, a name used within Tisca’s internal cataloguing system to identify specific patterns or design variants. Rather than referring to an individual designer, Forster denotes a studio design developed and produced by Tisca, consistent with the brand’s long-standing practice of manufactory-led creative design.

Tisca rugs—particularly those hand-knotted during the 1970s and 1980s—are renowned for their exceptional quality and durability. This rug is crafted from 100% premium New Zealand wool, offering a soft, luxurious feel underfoot while ensuring long-lasting resilience. The hand-knotting technique allows for subtle texture variations and a distinctly artistic, almost canvas-like surface, making each Tisca rug a unique work of textile art.

Founded in 1958 in Moroges, France, Tisca gained international recognition during the 1970s and 1980s for its innovative approaches to handcrafted rugs. Their work became highly sought after by leading interior designers and architects, including Andrée Putman and Philippe Starck, who valued the brand’s refined balance of traditional craftsmanship, artistic expression, and modern design language.
