The Design

About Espressionismo Floreale Tapis

Espressionismo Floreale est une collection de tapis sur la renaissance de la vie à travers les fleurs. Par la couleur et les formes géométriques, chaque design capture une partie reproductive naturelle d'une fleur dans sa forme la plus abstraite. Les tapis sont tissés à partir d'un mélange luxueux de laine de Nouvelle-Zélande et de soie végane selon la technique du tuftage à la main. Ils se déclinent en six modèles différents : Anthère, Carpelle, Filament, Feuille, Pétale et Étamine. Le design de chaque tapis est une étude de couleur et de forme qui génère une sensation de mouvement sinueux, élégant et vigoureux, à l'image de ces fleurs qui, par nature, libèrent une vie vibrante.

Unique Properties: Espressionismo Floreale is a rug collection about the rebirth of life through flowers. Using colors and geometric shapes, each artwork captures one natural reproductive part of a flower in its most abstract form. The design of each rug is a study of color and form that generates a sensation of a sinuous, elegant and forceful movement as these flowers own by nature. A powerful color expression elevates the viewer's imagination to a world in which color floods everything and brings them joy.

Production Technology: The Espressionismo Floreale rugs are woven from a luxurious blend of New Zealand wool and vegan silk using the hand tufting technique. The artist’s manufacturer Beiriz Atelier in Portugal is certified in materials and production. The rugs are handmade using natural and sustainable materials, wool and vegan silk, which its production process uses environmentally friendly nontoxic solutions and recycles ninety nine per cent of the water used. The rugs are woven with natural dyes.
Design Challenge: The first challenge was how to translate a design from 2D on paper to 3D on fabric. To then facing the biggest challenge which was the production. Worked with many makers in Barcelona, Portugal and India until found the one who could achieve the perfect lines and design and the exact desired colors in the most environmental responsible manner from the study at Tapetes Beiriz in Portugal.
Research: Color and form study followed by materials research. Production and manufacturing research. Shipping, packaging, delivery methodology. Once the product was achieved the creation of a business from zero with branding, website, photoshoots, PR materials, sustainable production process and research on fairs to exhibit.
Inspiration: Laura believes in the emotional power of color that unlocks a vibrant living and how color can bring energy to impact how we feel in the spaces around us. But moreover, how we connect with design because of its story and message. Espressionismo Floreale reminds us that nature continues offering its beauty and support, honoring how flowers make our existence possible. An abstraction of something the audience care and can relate to, and even more, that it can bring them an uplifting energy.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2020 and finished in January 2023, and was exhibited at Alcova during Salone del Mobile Milan Design Week 2023.
Operation Flow: The rugs are an addition to any interior space. Once the package is opened we let the rug relax and be flat for a few hours with no furniture on top. It's recommended to vacuum it everyday for a couple of weeks if possible. After this is all about enjoying the comfort and pleasant energy from its design and colors.
