Sage carpet
The artefact
This large spectacular carpet in Sardinian wool and cotton in natural white and grey with fine touches of sage green, stands out for its prized abstract decoration created with irregular effects of the traditional pibiones relief technique. It is part of the Moving Landscapes collection, designed by the designer Paulina Herrera and inspired, with fine references, to the landscapes of the island and the characteristic mistral wind that blows through the vegetation and tree-tops, carrying and stirring leaves in new and evocative aerial compositions. The collection consists of 6 carpets with different colour effects.
