Biography
As soon as the tapouille is finished, it comes to life. Sometimes it’s hard work; they don’t hesitate to run away to do some sightseeing or chat with each other. Some even start to rebel! Personally, mine is stuck under the sofa, so there’s no risk of it flying away. Tapouille is a 27-year-old artist from Ixelles who uses the tufting method. With the help of many balls of wool and a large burlap cloth. He gently builds carpets. It’s the same as using a punching needle, but with a gun. It’s quicker and allows you to imagine much larger creations. Whether floor-standing or framed, he’s all about the love of color and the good mood a rug could bring to a living room.
