Nostalgia and experimentation lead the creative process responsible for the new TCP, Tonnara Car Park, collection by Dutch based studio Odd Matter. The ephemeral nature of sand became the starting point to a collection where transient movement and marks become permanently engrained in the surface of a hand-knotted rug. “The collection tries to capture a fragment of the moments that no one came to see but for a short period was a part of.” In their own words, Els and Giorgi describe the nostalgia that started the process: “We stopped the car and found a spot to park in the sun. After a last swim it was time to head back. Our thoughts were drawn to the sand as we were walking back, it had been under the blazing sun for hours and was boiling hot. Hiding behind the open doors of the car, we changed under a towel whilst taking in the view for another moment. Trying to rub off the sand before getting in the car, the interior of which had turned to lava, we were unable to touch the steering wheel. Driving off, leaving behind the temporary soft traces of our presence in the sand, whilst erasing those of the people that came before us. The unintentional and unexpected patterns left behind in the sand is what inspired the TCP Collection.”
