With Biancafiore, a multitude of fiber tones are used to subtly change colours from deep blues to clear blues and lilacs. The curved lines of the floral pattern are as if applied with a brush on a smooth white porcelain glaze. The white and blue canvas with mirrored ornaments replicates the cobalt sweat of porcelain paintings.
This wool and silk rug, hand-knotted by Nepalese artisans, represents the richness and quality of natural materials and soulful craftsmanship. Using centuries-old tradition of hand weaving to realise the idea of European designers is a trend in contemporary art, where authentic handmade items become collectible. The rug features a soft, high pile, and the line of carving – carving the pile – highlights the whimsical curves of the pattern. The knot density is 100 knots per inch².
