Microcosm, Nodus

This rug's abstract design leaves room for interpretation.

Nodus


From French designer Matali Crasset for Italian rug maker Nodus, Microcosm is a hand-knotted wool rug whose array of green hues cut by black lines creates a level of abstraction that leaves room for interpretation. Crasset’s other rug designs for Nodus include a red floral burst and a historical ethnographic map of Chicago’s late Maxwell Street Market neighborhood. nodusrug.it
