About The Labyrinth Collection Maze Area Kleedjie

Maze is 'n handgetoefte area-kleedjie uit die Labyrinth-versameling, geïnspireer deur tradisionele heggie-doolhowe. Die kleedjie is gemaak van wol en volhoubare bamboessy. 'n Verhewe patroon herroep die heggiemure van 'n tuindoolhof, en die asimmetriese pad kan met kaal voete gevolg word. Die bamboessy gee 'n effense glans wat van toon verander onder verskillende beligting. Vyf standaardkleurskemas verwys na natuurlike elemente, insluitend 'n groen tint genaamd Boxwood. Standaardgroottes wissel van 60 by 90 sentimeter tot 240 by 300 sentimeter, en pasgemaakte groottes is ook beskikbaar. Die ontwerp pas by sitkamers, studeerkamers en slaapkamers.

Unique Properties
The Labyrinth Collection area rugs brings the mythical tradition of mazes to a luxury, decorative design element. The hand-tufted rugs translate the traditional hedge maze into a soft, patterned rug with a raised pattern that mimics the hedge walls. Their asymmetrical patterns preserve the maze designs in a way that makes it possible to trace with your feet as you walk across this unique rug, and the five standard colorways are inspired by timeless natural elements, including "Boxwood" green.
Dimensions & Packaging
Standard sizes include: 60 cm x 90 cm, 120 cm x 180 cm, 180 cm x 270 cm, 240 cm x 300 cm. Custom sizing is available upon request.

Production Technology
These rugs are hand-tufted with wool and sustainable bamboo silk by my rug production team in India.
Inspiration
Inspired by an aerial photograph of the boxwood gardens at Chateau de Villandry in Loire Valley, France, I studied hedge formations around the world and was struck by the labyrinth tradition of hedge mazes that can be traced back through religious traditions and myths in many countries. The names of each rug references my research and points to a historic maze or significant place from which these designs originate, including the "Lucca" labyrinth in the Cathedral of San Maritino in Italy.
Operation Flow
These rugs are designed to be used in intimate rooms such as the living room, study, or bedroom, and are meant to be experienced with bare feet. The bamboo silk pattern has a slight sheen that produces variations in tone under different lighting conditions. The design recalls meditation labyrinths and are designed to bring a sense of peace, and a centering element to the room.
