About The Labyrinth Collection Maze Tapis de surface
Maze est un tapis touffeté à la main issu de la collection Labyrinth, inspiré des labyrinthes de haies traditionnels. Le tapis est confectionné en laine et en soie de bambou durable. Un motif en relief évoque les murs de verdure d'un labyrinthe de jardin, et le cheminement asymétrique peut être suivi pieds nus. La soie de bambou apporte un léger lustre dont la tonalité varie selon l'éclairage. Cinq coloris standard font référence aux éléments naturels, dont un vert baptisé Boxwood (buis). Les dimensions standard s'échelonnent de 60 sur 90 centimètres à 240 sur 300 centimètres, et des formats sur mesure sont disponibles. Ce design convient aux salons, aux bureaux et aux chambres à coucher.

- 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.
