Red Thread
Artful combination
With “CHARACTERS – The Red Thread Collection”, we present a series of eight exceptional designs displaying the creative personality of Staffan Tollgård. Each of the hand-tufted creations is unique in its artful combination of patterns, colors and techniques. Silk and New Zealand virgin wool are used for the yarns. /p>
Scratched – A TEXTURAL REVELATION
Scratched is a textural revelation. The myriad of imprints marking the surface form a new type of aesthetics altogether. The “scratched” layers reveal the fascinating composition that lies underneath: an artful mix of fine loop pile and skillfully cut-away sections.
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 – UNE RÉVÉLATION QUI DONNE LES TENDANCES
RED THREAD est une métaphore devenue réalité. Son dessin est symbole des tournures et des rencontres qui parcourent notre vie. Le fil de soie brillante fraie son chemin en alternant ses mouvements entre allure lente et dynamique.
STAFFAN TOLLGÅRD – LE DESIGNER
L’expression scandinave « fil rouge » joue depuis plus de 10 ans un rôle central pour Staffan Tollgård dans son travail de designer d’intérieur. « Je l’utilise comme métaphore, pour décrire l’ADN de chacun de mes projets qui va à l’élément essentiel de toutes les choses qui finalement relient l’intérieur, l’architecture et l’environnement, », dit Tollgård. « Avec ma première collection de tapis je pouvais rendre tangible ce fil rouge. »
