Raised between Darjeeling and Kathmandu, Lisa Mukhia Pretet grew up surrounded by the looms and knotting techniques of the Himalayas long before she co-founded Atelier Février with French designer Florian Pretet. Together they turn Florian’s hand-drawn illustrations, often first sketched in his Moleskine, into rugs hand-knotted stitch by stitch in Nepal, each one eco-friendly by nature and entirely customisable in size, shape and colour.

The Vitesse Rug Oval joins Atelier Février’s rug library, here woven in an oval format. Vitesse takes the speed of light as its subject, so seemingly still yet so brisk, its silk edges accentuating the pattern’s most delicate details. Hand-knotted in Nepal from 85% Himalayan wool and 15% silk, at 125 knots per square inch (200,000 knots per square metre), the wool anchoring the pile while the silk catches the light along the pattern’s finer lines. Every Vitesse Rug Oval is made to order over some twelve to sixteen weeks by a combined workforce of more than fifty artisans, and, true to Atelier Février’s spirit, can be resized, reshaped or recoloured entirely to your own specification.

Each rug is handcrafted by skilled artisans who master ancestral techniques such as hand knotting, weaving, and tufting. Due to its handmade nature, there may be slight variations in size and colour, and the patterns may adjust proportionally when the rug is scaled to different sizes. Colours are subject to sample approval and colours shown may vary with lighting and environment.
