About The Labyrinth Collection Maze エリアラグ

「メイズ」は、伝統的な生垣迷路から着想を得たラビリンス・コレクションのハンドタフテッド・エリアラグです。素材にはウールと、サステナブルなバンブーシルクを使用しています。立体的に浮き上がったパターンが庭園迷路の生垣を思わせ、左右非対称の小径は素足でたどることができます。バンブーシルクによって生まれるほのかな光沢は、照明の違いによって表情を変えます。標準カラーは自然のエレメントにちなんだ5色展開で、グリーンの「ボックスウッド」などを取り揃えています。標準サイズは60×90センチメートルから240×300センチメートルまで、オーダーメイドサイズにも対応します。リビングルーム、書斎、ベッドルームに適したデザインです。

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.
