Honeycomb carpet
The artefact
This large elegant carpet in Sardinian wool featuring juxtapositions of natural colors, beige and dark brown, stands out for the fine and minimal harmony of the design with regular bands, enriched by honeycomb-like stripes woven using the local technique ambisue which creates special almond-shaped effects. It is part of the distinctive Ambisues textile collection by Eugenia Pinna, conceived from the very start of her business and constantly enriched and adjusted with new formal solutions of remarkable and aesthetic value.
