- Versions: GA404 in one colour, GA405 in two colours
- Size: custom, without limitations
Story
Programmed art and optical illusion
Frequence takes its graphic design from programmed art, which is based on optical illusions in which surfaces change appearance depending on the angle of observation. The result is an illusory sensation of movement.
Two materials, one pattern
The pattern is obtained by using two different materials, bamboo silk and wool, in a single hand-tufted carpet.
