This project was realized in collaboration with La Manufacture Cogolin, a traditional manufacturer of carpets in the south of France.

Just some time before I started working on this project I had visited an exhibition about moroccan carpets at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich. I was enchanted by the way patterns were constructed  and interpretated in a very liberated way and asked myself how to translate the richness and depth I found in these unique carpets into a reproductible product.

I started with a simple pattern which was then fragmented, manipulated and reassembled to give the impression the pattern was developed and constructed during the weaving process.

We choose to craft the carpet in flat waving technique using cotton and raffia to translate the lines of my drawings in the most accurate way.
