During this year\u2019s Fuorisalone, Tai Ping\u2019s Milan showroom hosts an exhibition highlighting one of the most remarkable rugs in the company\u2019s nearly 70-year history.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Developed in tandem with artist anothermountainman<\/strong> (Stanley Wong), the hand-tufted Hong Kong Walk On I<\/em> measures 3 x 6m and features a design so complex that it defies the capabilities of computer-generated templates and advanced manufacturing techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rug is part of anothermountainman\u2019s iconic Red White Blue series<\/strong>, initiated in 2001 and based on the three-colored nylon canvas<\/strong> that has become a symbol of the island. It has come to embody Hong Kong\u2019s dynamism, positive spirit and resilience<\/strong>, as well as traditional values, such as neighborhood, family and friendship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The starting point for the Hong Kong Walk On I <\/em>rug <\/em>was a high-definition photo of a piece of Red White Blue canvas with one end completely smooth and the other crumpled and scrunched into wave-like patterns. For anothermountainman, it symbolizes Hong Kong\u2019s trajectory<\/strong>: decades of steady progress followed by recent hardship and turbulence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire process took six months<\/strong> and the result is so realistic that viewers often mistake it for the original nylon canvas, questioning whether it is in two or three dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In occasione del Fuorisalone 2025 Tai Ping presenta Hong Kong Walk On I<\/strong><\/em>, uno dei pi\u00f9 rilevanti tappeti mai realizzati dalla manifattura di Hong Kong nei suoi settant\u2019anni di storia. Sviluppato in collaborazione con anothermountainman, alias Stanley Wong<\/strong>, artista originario dell\u2019isola, il tappeto, taftato a mano e di dimensioni imponenti (3 x 6 m), si distingue per la complessit\u00e0 del disegno e della lavorazione. \u00c8 parte della celeberrima serie Red White Blue<\/strong>, iniziata da anothermountainman nel 2001 e ispirata alla tela tricolore in nylon, emblema di Hong Kong e della resilienza dei suoi abitanti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il punto di partenza di Hong Kong Walk On I<\/em> \u00e8 una foto in alta definizione di una tela Red White Blue con un bordo integro e l\u2019altro stropicciato<\/strong>: per l\u2019artista l\u2019immagine simboleggia la traiettoria di Hong Kong, che ha visto decadi di solido progresso, a cui sono seguite le difficolt\u00e0 e l\u2019instabilit\u00e0 recenti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La lavorazione, durata sei mesi<\/strong>, ha richiesto abilit\u00e0 senza precedenti per la molteplicit\u00e0 delle gradazioni dei colori, per le linee sinuose e i riflessi di luce, riprodotti a partire dalla fotografia originaria: sono stati effettuati 628 cambi di colore utilizzando 64 differenti toni di rosso<\/strong>, bianco e blu.
