Oplà carpet
The artefact
This original and elegant carpet in Sardinian wool stands out for its prized geometric decoration, obtained through the combination of numerous weaving techniques and the neat juxtaposition of shades of beige and natural dark brown, emphasised by the contrast of details and fringes in magenta red. It is part of the Tessiture collection of the recognisable production by Eugenia Pinna, characterised by the experimental use of different weaving techniques so as to obtain momentous new decorations.
