On the Design:

Designers and admirers of the craft alike will immediately recognize the quiet majesty of this contemporary Block Print runner. Tones of deep charcoal underscore a repeating stylized floral motif, brilliantly capturing the soulful, rhythmic imperfections of traditional Indian hand-stamped textiles. These crisp, ink-like hues sit gracefully against the luminous cream field, lending the entire piece an air of subtle sophistication and an atmospheric, watercolor-like charm. The design perfectly honors the wabi-sabi elegance of authentic block printing—evoking the rustic beauty of natural dyes pressed from intricately hand-carved wooden blocks onto a clean canvas.

This beautifully crafted piece exemplifies the refined aesthetics and tactile luxury that have come to define the best of contemporary transitional weaving. R&K Principal, Josh Nazmiyal, regards this as a particularly beautiful example; its dense, incredibly beautiful wool body and delicate botanical drawing setting it apart from many of its contemporaries. This level of artistry, especially in a versatile runner format as tailored as this, is highly coveted among contemporary curators and bespoke designers today. The accompanying book, Carlo Mollino: Architect Designer Photographer by Paola Colombari, Rossella Colombari, is part of Volumes by Rug & Kilim. The book (SKU - B372) can be acquired independently through our bookstore.
