Carpet

The artefact

This cotton and Sardinia wool carpet features a balanced wide geometrical decoration with musk green weaves on a neutral field, and purple parallel stripes. Its typical kaleidoscopic effects are woven on a heddle loom, the traditional weaving tool appreciated by contemporary productions for the minimal use of colours and graphic compositions.
