Born and raised in Tuscany, Miami-based Rita Motta Perez studied architecture and interior design then went on to learn furniture-making, drawing on the centuries-long tradition of Italian cabinet-makers. Furniture, interiors, jewellery, pillows, carpets, wallpaper and whimsical playhouses are the canvases on which she expresses her design aesthetic — a mix of the classical and modern with an eye to the fanciful.
Motta-Perez’s aptly-named Bubbles collection for Tai Ping includes a series of vibrant rugs that present an artistic interpretation of effervescent bubbles. The rugs are dramatic in scale and showcase Tai Ping’s signature sculpting technique.
