GEM O By Illulian
Gem Rugs by Alain Gilles enriches the exclusive Limited Edition line and confirms the company’s focus on excellent designers and artists from all over the world.
This initial inspiration gave birth to a composition that behaves like a collage where two contrasting elements seem to discuss with each other and where the roundness of one element is highlighted by the sheer hardness and angularity of the other shape. As in a collage, one element appears to be on top of the other, resulting in a unique design language with two different pile heights. The collection consists of three different rug designs that are based on the same concept, but each offers its own possibilities and is available in three different color combinations. The entire collection is hand-knotted in Nepal, using wool for the upper Obelix shape and silk for the larger lower element.
GEM O presents itself as a work of refined delicacy and elegance, which gracefully combines an oval quartz in the enveloping nuances of powder pink and a bright green prism.
