whose name could evoke the idea of a “grid,” is a play on intersecting lines that reveal squares and rectangles in certain parts of the carpet. It may evoke architectural elements such as brick façades or surface textures, making itsuitable for a variety of interior spaces.

My intention was to experiment with a graphic approach that wasn’t too complicated, in order to create both a narrative and a strong visual identity. I have always been fascinated by how a few lines on an empty sheet of paper can suddenlyform patterns and become recognizable. For these carpets, I literally started by drawing and playing with paper sheets.

Even though the result appears very graphical, the materials and production process inspired me greatly. It was the first time I created woven carpets (as opposed to tufted ones). This technique works best with right angles, which influenced the design, but at the same time, the handmade nature of the work gives the lines a vibrant quality that adds a mesmerizing effect.

The way the pile is dyed—again, not in an industrial way—creates a beautiful texture that enhances thequality of the piece and softens the rigidity of the geometric pattern.
