My relationship with La Manufacture de Cogolin started in 2014 with a flat weaving carpet unique piece, inspired by moroccan rugs, where the patterns seemed to be evolving as the weaving progressed.

Based on sections of that prototype, the five Binaire raffia rugs offer a range of irregular patterns. The Jacquard weaving technique is, in a way, the ancestor of computer programming, as it uses perforated cards to direct the movements of each thread to reproduce a design.

The result is a collection of vibrant and ethereal textures, with drawing that seem to change according to the viewer’s distance or perspective. I like the way these patterns somehow look digital, while the object in its materiality, made with natural fibers, says something different.
