People with eccentric tastes often surround themselves with designer pieces that underline their individual style. A distinctive designer rug completes the overall picture of a personal interior. The "archipelago" carpet by Brussels designer Laure Kasiers is a high-quality, unique and practical accessory for the home. Its dynamic geometric texture suits many types of flooring and brings a modern look to living spaces.
Carpet design on the border between art and design
Textile design graduate Laure Kasiers experiments on the border between art and design to create a unique carpet design. She places as much importance on the attractive look of her creations as on their delicate tactile quality. "Archipelago" resembles a small floating island in a lake. Above all, the effect comes from the making process. Polypropylene was used for the piece. Colored fabric with a spiral-like structure is wrapped around itself, creating a sense of depth. The color effect gives the design an almost dimensional quality.
Multi-purpose "archipelago" carpet design
In modern product design, carpet design can also offer an additional function. In "archipelago," the removable individual islands become comfortable floor cushions in an instant. The round rug is available in two standard sizes, and special designs are also possible.
A lively, shimmering surface
Designer Laure Kasiers opened her shop and studio in Brussels in 2011. She offers a wide range of furnishing solutions and drawings that create a warm, charming atmosphere in a room. All of her high-quality rugs are handmade. Kasiers brings her background in graphic design into her textile work. Using traditional materials, and sometimes discarded ones, she explores questions of mobility, design and contrast. To meet customers’ needs as well as possible, Laure leaves plenty of room for creative experimentation with shapes, textures and patterns.
