Green & blue wool & cotton rug 200x300 cm Ethan Cook Flat Works: "Green Peach Vigilance" - HAY

Inspired by his decorative woven wall works, Ethan Cook's Flat Works is a series of rugs designed for HAY, hand-wefted in the spirit of the kilim tradition. A rug that doesn't make waves! But one that draws on their swarming energy to cradle your shoes as though you were walking on golden sand. And there you are, whisked away to an empty dune, greeting the fathomless azure of Pacific panoramas… With this rug, the flat angular wave is set in motion! Paired with Spanish white, the navy blue and aniline black rectangles capture the dance of the breakers that usually send our eyes surfing while on holiday. A way of reliving the timeless theme of the undertow in your living room or hallway, where the coming and going is also very nearly constant. You could just as easily be drawn into the play of the flags that frame our swimming spots, of a tuft of twigs emerging from the sand, or of black rocks standing impassive before still water… The alternating tones and shapes will set the tone of your week, much like a switch riding steadily within the most stable of cocoons.

Added to this is a museum-like quality, summoned by the abstract topology of colours laid out according to a precise, regular scheme. Bring into your home the natural, universal flow of the waves, rocks and lands so dear to our blue planet, distilled into borders of colour. Breathe in vitality, with restraint… Suffice to say that these rugs turn the New York designer's bold blocks of colour into an ornamental experience for our feet! The best way to dress your floor surface without drowning in complex patterns, while lending a considered character to your furniture. By choosing from this range of altogether astute furnishings, you will feel the breath of non-figurative art in your own home, taking concrete measure of its arrangement. Recharge along the way and pause now and then to contemplate the rhythm of the invigorating colours, carriers of a striking geometry.

Firmly crafted, this blend of wool and cotton nevertheless leaves no marks on your floors. In this respect, these kilim rugs can be just like the tribes that devised them: semi-nomadic. So drop anchor here and there… In the equation of their design and their finished look, tradition and modernity touch one another at the heart of the clean-cut links of these hangings.
