The VOL rug is inspired by the work of Léon Bakst—specifically, his costume sketch for the ballet Afternoon of a Faun. Its design focuses on fluid lines and rhythmic movement, bringing the dynamic energy of dance into an interior.
The color palette was carefully chosen—Bakst often combined ultramarine with intricate Eastern motifs in his sketches. The rug’s base is made of raw, unbleached wool with a lively, textured weave. The accent section features hand-dyed silk threads of varying heights, interwoven with gold fibers—creating movement not only through color gradients but also through texture and flexibility.
Handwoven in Nepal, this rug preserves the centuries-old traditions of artisanal weaving, where master craftsmen continue to create intricate patterns that reflect the beauty and diversity of the world.
The result is a refined and elegant piece—uncluttered by excessive prints or forms. Designed as a striking focal point, the VOL rug is simple yet intricate in craftsmanship. It sets a rhythm, guides the eye, and invites the viewer to interpret its story in their own way, returning to the essence of artistic expression.
