Warli Walden Rug
WALDEN RUG
WALDEN RUG
Designed by Paolo Zani, 2021
Walden is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. A colorful microstructure, on a wool and viscose weaving with a mélange effect.
Each of the 4 colors is carefully chosen, ‘tone on tone’ or in contrast with the base yarn. The fringes are obtained by a particular twisting technique and manual application on the edge of the rug.
