Red Thread
COMBINAISONS FAITES AVEC ART
Avec « CHARACTERS - The Red Thread Collection » nous présentons une série de huit dessins extraordinaires qui portent tous la signature créative de Staffan Tollgård. Chaque tapis tufté main est une pièce unique au niveau de la combinaison des dessins, couleurs et techniques employés. Les fils sont réalisés à partir de soie et de laine vierge provenant de Nouvelle-Zélande.
Scratched – UNE RÉVÉLATION STRUCTURELLE
SCRATCHED est une véritable révélation quant à la texture. Des empreintes innumérables sillonnent la surface pour s’agencer dans une image globale très esthétique. Les parties « enlevées » révèlent une surface inférieure constituée de guipures et de parties fraisées avec art.
Diamond – AN INDUSTRIAL REVELATION
Diamond interprets a very basic material in a surprising way. Knurled metal with its characteristic structure can be encountered throughout the world. It is not decorative or artful in itself. Yet when this usually machine-made pattern is painstakingly carved into wool, it reveals the essence of masterly rug making.
Beneath – A VOLATILE REVELATION
Beneath tells the story of the liquid core of our seemingly solid earth. The advanced techniques of JAB ANSTOETZ’s artisans allowe to translate the power of boiling lava into a very dramatic and fascinating carpet.
Drop – A DYNAMIC REVELATION
Drop is the proof that just a few drops of water can transform a plain surface into a work of art. Subtle carving techniques bring that very process to life, mimicking the gentle dynamic change as the ripples spread out to the edges of the carpet.
Surface – A FUNDAMENTAL REVELATION
Surface explores the cracking of the earth and the transitory nature of materials when exposed to the elements. The slightly apocalyptic notion is softened by the warm, muted colors and the delicate loop pile that is exposed in the fissures of the rug.
Dissolve – A TARNISHED REVELATION
Dissolve tells a tale of transformation and describes the change of untreated metal over the time. With scientific sense and artistic sensibility, JAB ANSTOETZ has managed to depict the blurring colors of the rusting process.
Splash – AN ACCIDENTAL REVELATION
Splash is about the interaction of color and texture – and the childish delight in playing with paint. The delicately carved edges make the surface tension of the drops tangible in the true sense of the word. The strength of the design’s simple message is underlined by the use of shimmering silk to work out the splatter.
Red Thread – A GUIDING REVELATION
Red Thread is a metaphor made real. Its pattern symbolizes the twists and turns of life’s journey and the encounters made along the way. The vibrant silk yarn works its way across the stage, alternating between gentle motion and dynamic effort.
STAFFAN TOLLGÅRD – THE DESIGNER
"The Scandinavian notion of the ‘red thread’ has been central to my work as an interior designer for over ten years. I have used it as a powerful metaphor to describe the journey towards the creative DNA of every project I have worked on – the heart of the matter that connects interior, architecture and environment," states Tollgård. "With my first collection of rugs I have been able to make the red thread a reality."
