This high-end textile [woven fabric] is inspired by the famous 20th-century American artist Alexander Calder and his celebrated design titled "Ice Rink" (also called Patinoire). The design shows Calder's classic playful style, using bold forms, balancing shapes, and bright colors to show energy and movement.

This spectacular piece is completely hand-woven [made by weaving threads together by hand on a machine without electricity] using fine, premium wool yarn over a strong cotton foundation [the strong base threads of a textile]. Because it is a flat-weave tapestry [a flat woven decorative textile without a fuzzy or thick surface], it does not have a thick carpet pile. This makes it perfect to hang cleanly on a wall as museum-quality art, or to use as a unique, flat floor covering.
