Building on the success of our initial collaboration with Muller van Severen and Gallery Valerie Traan, we are thrilled to introduce our second carpet design, the Carpet blue/yellow.

Inspired by a drawing from Muller van Severen, the carpet is a captivating collage of Fien's work. The meticulous process of color selection and material choice was highly intricate. Transforming the design into a carpet proved to be a challenging yet rewarding endeavor. With over 46 colors, the carpet features a stunningly intense background that transitions from a lighter blue down the full width of the rug. This background meets a deeply intense blue color in the top left corner and a slightly lighter intense blue in the top right, creating a visually striking effect. The beautiful yellow, crafted in 100 percent pure Chinese silk, provides a captivating contrast against the woolen blue background.

For those interested in acquiring this unique piece, it is currently available at Ashtari Carpets. Contact us for further details:

ABOUT THE DESIGNERS

ABOUT THE COLLABORATION

We are privileged to announce our collaboration with Hannes and Fien for the creation of this extraordinary hand-knotted carpet. This project emerged from a shared respect for each other's craftsmanship and individuality. The synergy between collaborators is crucial, and in the case of Muller Van Severen, this connection was established seamlessly. Hannes and Fien, both versatile creatives, have captivated us with their vision and passion—an inspiring blend of art and design.

As longtime admirers of their work, we were particularly eager to witness how their artistic perspective would manifest in the realm of hand-knotted carpets. Our role in the development of this carpet was advisory and technical, where we gladly contributed our expertise in material selection and technical considerations.

The use of Pashmina wool, known for its softness, adds a luxurious touch to the carpet. Its natural whiteness enhances the contrast with the vibrant colored surfaces. The 'gradient' in the blue segment, crafted from natural silk, injects dynamism and vitality into the overall design. In contrast, the colored wool sections exhibit a matte finish, creating a more pronounced and harmonious tempering effect.

The deliberate alternation of these raw materials introduces a captivating interplay of textures and colors, altering the viewer's perception as light interacts with the matte wool and exquisite silk components. This collaborative venture has resulted in a truly exceptional piece that seamlessly merges technical precision with artistic vision.

We take pride in sharing this unique creation with you, reflecting the harmonious convergence of craftsmanship and creativity.
