Chillida Gravitacion 1997 200x310 cm

Available From 1 June 2024

Inspired by the artwork of Eduardo Chillida, this indoor rug pays tribute to the collage Gravitación 1997.

The Gravitaciones series were not simple overlapping paper cut-outs, but relief sculptures. Chillida playfully took the concept of gravitating almost to the limit, because the paper weighed so little. By suspending different types of paper he achieved a dramatic effect, exerting a new tension in the way the paper fragments overlapped or intercalated, in turn creating spaces of light and shadow between them.

This tension was our prime focus in transforming his work into a rug. Playing with ancestral techniques, fibers, and different heights, the suspension that Chillida was looking for has been reflected.
