Carpet Edition is a young brand, founded in 2005 in Collebeato (BS), thanks to the extensive experience of Indikon in the production and distribution of rugs.
George Kenneth Scott, born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1918, graduated from Parsons School of Design in New York and began his career as a painter in the New York art scene in the 1940s, supported by Peggy Guggenheim. He moved to Paris in 1946 and began working in the field of printed fabric designs, attracting the attention of major French manufacturers and famous couturiers, Balmain, Lanvin and Dior. The latter used one of his designs for a dress in 1954. In 1955 he settled in Milan, where he founded his first brand, Falconetto, and later Ken Scott, dedicated to interior design and the creation of printed fabrics for prestigious brands. In the 1960s he launched a clothing line with his fabrics, dressing numerous celebrities. Besides his success in textiles and interior design, he created side businesses such as the Eats & Drinks restaurant in Milan in 1969, known for its bright colours. Ken Scott passed away in 1991, but his foundation continues to preserve and disseminate his designs and patterns.
Carpet Edition has translated Ken Scott's vibrant motifs into the language of textiles, transforming them into a vast collection of rugs, flowers and tapestries which recount the fortunate intersection between design and fashion, two creative worlds which continue to get closer, united by reciprocal affinity.
The Ken Scott Collection pays homage to the famous painter and eclectic designer who left his mark on the creative era of the 60s and 70s.
Flowers, close to the heart of the visionary gardener of fashion, geometric patterns, and animal prints, are the chosen subjects for this collection which crosses the boundaries of interior design to transform into pieces which carry an invaluable artistic legacy.

Every single piece reflects the creative spirit of the American designer, masterfully combining the potential of fabrics with an in-depth study of materials (such as New Zealand wool, Hardtwist, Linen and Tencel), production techniques (multi-level hand tufting) and detailing (velvet pile, bouclé, shag and 3D carving). The result is a collection of rugs and tapestries with stunning dynamic and three-dimensional effects.
