Repost of @parametric.architecture about this amazing 3d print created by @3dprinted.architecture. OVOID project is an Ergonomical Micro-Living in An Eggshell Designed by @yurii_papikian. OVOID’s vision and core thinking crafts a micro-home with a minimal building footprint of 25m2. The fundamental problem of typical compact houses bounces with the limitation of free space. A prolonged stay in such homes slogs individuals to feeling isolated and confined. The OVOID theory extracts maximum usage of the given area and affords a comfortable and healthy living environment.

Today’s design suggestion comes from a photo of Seseh border design specified by a client in Hong Kong for their bedroom.

Client brief was to have a simple neutral rug to frame the bed with accents of sage greens and subtle gold to matching their curtains. The simplicity of the low silk loop details juxtaposed against a wool and silk mix base made them decide to go for this particular design. Seseh border is a stunning natural and organic pattern inspired by textural layers of tertiary bedrock, exposed by the receding tides on volcanic sands of Bali’s west coast beaches.

Designed by duo Camilla and Leo Riviere for the Abstract Collection

We hope you all enjoyed the long weekend?
We’re so pleased with the border version of our Classic Caumont design which brings to mind the faded edge of a piece of parchment. Here pictured within a nice setting put together by @fbclondon for their showroom on the Pimlico Road.

The abstract silken border was inspired by a piece of ancient parchment who’s worn edges faded into a pale centre. This rug is another incredible creation to be added to the Riviere Collection 🤩

We must admit that Ocean is one of our favourite designs from the Caledonia Collection designed in collaboration with @oa_london.

Who wouldn’t want one for their bedroom? We love the blue and mink palette used to style this bedroom…Ocean looks superb! Woven in 150 knots per sq/inch using finest high grade Tibetan wool and Botanic silk, the design can be customised in any colours, size and composition.

Before we hit the bank holiday we want to share with you another beautiful crafts shot showing #Allegra design in the trimming phase.

Once cut from the loom, the rug receives the finishing touches. It is hand sheared to achieve an even pile height and it is then meticulously hand trimmed with large scissors called Jamtse scissors to highlight the silk design.

This particular rug was recently created for @ninamoellerdesigns for one of their beautiful residential projects in Englefield Green

Directly from our workshop in Nepal a lovely photo capturing our weavers while they stare at the graph of Allegra design to understand which colour thread they need for the next knot. Before our team can make a start on weaving, each rug has to have its very own graph which is a computer generated full-scale version of the rug, indicating the colour and position of each knot. The wooden loom is set with the graph positioned above for our weavers to follow. Skill and accuracy are required as weavers sometimes have to change colour after every one or two knots for a highly complex design. Did you know that our weavers usually create around 5-10cm of rug per day depending on the complextity of the design?
