Negotiating a glittering neon path, Jean-Baptiste Fastrez draws inspiration from minimalist urban and artistic cultural references, themes of freedom and radicalism. His series of 3D neon sculptures, cleverly ordered on a dark background, evoke glowing fragments of the city at night.
Outline, by Hong Kong-based interior designer André Fu, is also urban in tone. Well-versed in the haute-couture collections of Tai Ping, for this edition Fu played on the concept of tracing the contours of furniture when seen from above – resulting in minimalist rug compositions on which you can place your own furniture.
Ryland Arnoldi and Sam Seidman of Wrapped also like to explore the crossover between art and technology, history and the digital age. Here, they lead us on an imaginary stroll through the sunny streets of L.A.’s artistic and anti-conformist Venice Beach district of Los Angeles, where they are based. The monikers of the color-drenched designs are a nod to local neighborhoods.
Globetrotting is in the very fiber of Memorabilia, a trio of rug designs by Rodolfo Agrella, a rising star of the Latin American design scene. The New York-based, Venezuelan-born talent shares his passion for evolving architectural forms and puzzle arrangements, which he likes to layer up and entangle. Through Agrella’s fantasy urban landscapes and sensual, joyful forms in colors bursting with life, one senses the influence of the tropics pushing through.
The Edition Two collection takes rug design to a creative new heights with artistic collaborations that embrace the language of weaves and motifs and draw inspiration from artistic cultural references.
