Sweetly Scented Killer Handtufted Rug by Laroque Studio

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

The sweetly scented killer handtufted rug by Laroque Studio Dimensions: 124 x 80 cm Materials: wool/acrylic Quality: 500.000 dots It would be nearly impossible to name just one idea that inspired collection 00. It started off with the periodic table of elements. I loved how this simple and yet well-classified structure arranges chemical elements with similar chemical behaviors into groups. Every element is like a code. That comparison instantly brought me back to our modern digital world - where letters and words are flying across borders. Invisible science but very precise. Somehow these two concepts merged into one. Rainbow, being a phenomenon, an optical illusion of light in water droplets not only brings something very poetic but also shows us how something magical can arise when two very different elements meet together. LAROQUE ST is a journey to a new discovery. The essence of our studio lies in constant experimentation with high-quality materials, exquisite artisanal craftsmanship and techniques. We look for elusive connections and new interpretations - we find new meanings and tell a story. The fluidity of our designs allows for any change in colors, materials, the scale of a pattern, the size and shape of the final product. with every new color or a new weaving technique begins a new journey. Knot by knot. It feels like a meditation. And yet this very complex process of carpet-weaving requires extremely high-skilled level of craftsmanship. The pile height can vary. A knot of silk may be found right next to a knot of wool. A palette of colors is infinite.

About the Creator

Patricia Urquiola

Born in Oviedo in 1961, Spanish architect and designer Patricia Urquiola studied at the Polytechnic University of Milan and the Technical University of Madrid, graduating in 1989. From 1990 until 1996, she was Assistant Professor to Achille Castiglioni and Eugenio Bettinelli at the Polytechnic University of Milan and E.N.S.C.I. in Paris. Also during this period, she worked in product development at De Padova, where she and Vico Magistretti created the popular Flower and Loom Sofa designs, among others.

Next, Urquiola became head of Lissoni Associates design group, where her housewares and furniture clients included Alessi, Flos, Cappellini, Cassina, and Kartell. In 2001, she joined forces with Martino Berghinz to open her own studio in Milan, where she continues to live and work today.

Urquiola’s designs combine clean, modern aesthetics with traditional Spanish and Italian crafts (often textiles). She draws upon eclectic cultural elements to humanize her designs. Her architectural work includes hotels, retail locations, and homes. Her product design clients include Foscarini, Cappellini, and B&B. Famed projects include the Fjord chair for Moroso (2002), the woven Flo chairs for Driade (2004), and her Crochet rug for Paola Lenti (2005). Urquiola’s work continues to focus primarily on design and architectural projects as well as exhibition concepts.
