CONNESSIONI RUG
Designed By Armando Milani
The "Inganni Spaziali" collection celebrates Italian design through a collaboration with a historic name in graphic design, Armando Milani.
The four rugs that compose the group, Emozioni, Illusione, Grovigli, and Connessioni, are the large-scale transposition of analog works from the 1970s.
Optical illusions on paper and sophisticated shapes come to life in the rug composed of natural and precious fibers.
To recreate the three-dimensionality of volumes and the light and dark of the rug's weave of Connessioni, we combined 85% wool and 15% silk yarns with a 100 knots/inch² knot density.
The grayscale palette and homogeneous 6mm pile height evoke the surface of paper-cotton by returning a soft and tactile feeling.
The sizes and rectangular shapes of the rugs maintain the proportions of Milani's original works; however, they can be adapted to the client's needs.
