Many
textile enthusiasts today are carpet lovers and a rug, unlike cloth, benefits
from a status of being immediately both a textile and an object. It can be
fully appreciated and placed without transformation. From there, the move from
object to art object is just a question of intention. NeedKnot, is a new label
for finely crafted carpets that clearly tie together applied and fine arts.
Art
historian, Mariannne Karabelnik, and design expert, Franziska Kessler, are the
label’s instigators who brought together 9 contemporary artists and designers for
the creation of 9 limited-edition rugs of the highest quality. The rugs were
produced by the world renowned specialists of carpet making, Tai Ping and
Manufacture Cogolin. A big bang of aesthetic impact was felt in Paris where
they were recently on view at the Tai Ping showroom in the Hotel de Livry.

Alas, my close-up isn't close enough to do justice to the embroidered effect of "Twist!"
