This rug presents a fascinating dialogue between early andlater 20th-century design sensibilities. Its biomorphic shapesand overlapping forms echo the organic abstractionembraced by Art Nouveau designers at the turn of thecentury, recalling the flowing lines of artists like Gustav Klimt,albeit with a more grounded palette. Simultaneously, therug's simplified planes of color and interlocking geometricsuggestions hint at the influence of mid-century modernism,particularly the work of designers who explored softenedgeometric forms, such as Isamu Noguchi. This piece bridgesdecorative fluidity of early modernism with streamlined,abstract languages that defined later decades, creating aunique, temporal fusion.
