Tides

Overview

Tides (2023) is a Giorgetti rug of wool and bamboo silk, made with the hand tufting technique. The image of the sea breaking on the shoreline, seen as a still image, inspired its design.

Construction

The wool fibre is treated with a loop technique, creating a suture between the two materials that form the pattern at the two ends. The surface is accentuated by the finishes and by the pile of the rug, with details that are cut, incised and sculpted by hand.

Specifications

• Versions: GA430 in one colour, GA431 in two colours
• Two-colour version: one colour for the wool top and bottom border, one for the bamboo silk section
• Size: custom, no limitations

The sea on the shoreline

Tides takes its design from the image of the sea breaking on the shoreline, frozen as a still image.

A suture between two materials

Looped wool fibre creates a suture between the wool and the bamboo silk that form the pattern. Hand cutting, incising and sculpting of the details accentuate it.
