About The Labyrinth Collection Maze Kazi Kuu: Zulia la Sakafuni

Maandishi ya Kitabu: Maze ni zulia la sakafuni lililosukwa kwa mkono kutoka Mkusanyiko wa Labyrinth, likiwa limeongozwa na mazigazi ya kitamaduni ya vichaka. Zulia hili limetengenezwa kwa sufu na hariri endelevu ya mianzi. Muundo uliojitokeza juu unakumbusha kuta za vichaka za mazigazi ya bustanini, na njia isiyo na ulinganifu inaweza kufuatiliwa kwa miguu isiyovaa viatu. Hariri ya mianzi inatoa mng'ao mwepesi unaobadilika sauti chini ya mwangaza tofauti. Rangi tano za kawaida zinarejelea vipengele vya asili, ikiwemo rangi ya kijani iitwayo Boxwood. Vipimo vya kawaida vinaanzia sentimita 60 kwa 90 hadi sentimita 240 kwa 300, na vipimo maalum vinapatikana kwa maombi. Muundo huu unafaa kwa vyumba vya kuishi, vyumba vya kusomea na vyumba vya kulala.

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.
