Planes shift gradually. There is no single shadow, only soft transitions.
Silk glides across the field in wide stretches; wool beneath is textured and uneven.
The knots are quiet here, sparse and dissolving — marking time as lightly as the
shadow they accompany.
About the collection:
LIMINAL is a triptych of hand-knotted rugs that sit at the edge of time, form, and
visibility.
“ At 4PM, architecture begins to move .The
sun stretches across surfaces, casting sharp,
oblique shadows that redefine space.”
LIMINAL is a series of hand-knotted rugs that capture the ephemeral hour when light
creates new geometries and silence settles in, focusing not just on shadow, but on
the people who exist alongside it. Each rug subtly incorporates artisan “signatures” as
a record of human rhythm.
The design translates shadow behavior into woven form, creating surfaces that
modulate light as an embodied experience. Key features include:
1. Signatures: Traditionally a temporary knot, this gesture is retained and
elevated in LIMINAL as a permanent knot cluster, making irregularity a record
of co-authorship.
2. Light & Shadow: Rooted in sciography, the rugs use pared-down forms to
explore how light breaks, folds, and reframes space, undoing depth while
suggesting it.
3. Material Contrast: The interplay of smooth, reflective silk (higher pile) and
stippled, matte hand-spun wool absorbs and reflects light differently, ensuring
the surfaces are never static. This transforms shadow into material, shaping
light across the rug’s planes throughout the day.
