It features a tactile pointillist field of multicoloured flecks set against a rich slate-blue and charcoal grid ground.

On the Design:

Celebrating pointillist textile art through a sophisticated contemporary lens, this piece presents a dramatic twist on the famous ‘Grass’ pattern, showcasing an extraordinarily intricate exploration of surface texture, micro-pattern repetition, and tactile relief. The layout is anchored by a dense grid foundation of slate-blue and charcoal wool, establishing a quiet architectural undercurrent that spans the entire field. Embedded within this dark, disciplined framework is an elaborate, highly detailed mosaic composed of thousands of individually tied natural silk flecks. These fine silk elements are arranged into subtle horizontal banding and broken linear passes, emulating the organic movement of wind-blown blades—giving rise to a complex visual landscape that reveals remarkable structural craftsmanship upon closer inspection. The continuous repetition of micro-motifs produces an undulating effect, striking a delicate balance between rigorous geometric order and expressive, painterly movement.

The colorway balances deep, grounding neutrals with vibrant pops of saturated jewel tones to create a compelling visual contrast. Saturated flecks of magenta pink, canary yellow, teal, emerald green, and fiery orange burst dramatically across the dark charcoal ground, introducing a dynamic visual cadence across the surface. Rendered throughout the pile, the premium natural silk content lends an iridescent sheen that catches ambient light, shifting continuously in warmth and intensity depending on the viewing angle. This subtle interplay of light across the pebbled texture brings out hidden depths within the slate foundation, elevating the classic "Grass" concept into a rich, art-grade centerpiece for gallery-inspired spaces, refined modern interiors, or curated private collections. he accompanying book, Richard Mishaan Design by Richard Mishaan and Jacqueline Terrebonne, is part of Volumes by Rug & Kilim.
