Listras

Papel, as the name itself suggests, is a new series of handloomed rugs in paper yarn. Compared to other materials, paper has a completely different charm: once the yearns are loomed, the effect delivered is neat and graphic. At the same time, paper is a natural and sustainable material, easy to cleans, like rattan but much softer.

The design of the Papel series is based on the original idea of elaborating simple shapes in a complex way through the colour, and the decomposition of basic elements. Blocks and strips are repeated in an apparently regular fashion, and the main colour is placed next to secondary shades to deceive the eye and create motion.

The decomposition of the lines imposed by the loom creates a vibrant game of multicoloured features that, when put together, create multidimensional, staggered patterns. The research for balance between colour and design takes the form of a neutral yet dynamic canvas.
