This rug's intricate, maze-like pattern evokes a sense of ancient architectural mystery filtered through a 20th-century lens. The raised, textured lines recall the bold geometric reliefs found in Frank Lloyd Wright's Mayan-inspired architectural details, particularly his tilework and concrete block designs. The monochromatic palette and the organic yet structured flow of the design also hint at the earthy materiality and abstract forms favored by mid-century modern sculptors and textile artists. This piece bridges a connection to ancient monumental art with the tactile and abstract explorations of modern design.
