Antoniolupi ATLANTE 3 Patterned handmade wool rug

ATLANTE 3 is a handmade patterned carpet made of Sardinian wool.‎ Architect Mario Trimarchi designed the system of ATLANTE wall rugs and tapestries made using the Piobones weaving technique.‎ Each carpet is handcrafted with ancient wooden looms, using wool from Sardinian flocks and natural cotton, and is dyed with environmentally sustainable substances.‎ Thanks to the use of wooden looms, it is possible to create a relief weave that lends three-dimensionality to the decoration.‎ Strong and decisive marks, orthogonal black lines also arranged diagonally, draw fields and natural forms that alternate and support each other, defining the image of a collection of rugs and tapestries with a distinct personality: a leaf, a pear, a donkey, a vase.‎ The magic of drawing and the beauty of craftsmanship The patterns in the Atlante series combine trajectories and references to nature and human labour through the traditional Sardinian weaving technique.‎ The ancient craft technique, handed down and practiced exclusively in Sardinia, blends harmoniously with contemporary taste and design.‎ The result is a collection of extraordinary products that embody the best of past traditions and modern aesthetics.‎ For Mario Trimarchi, drawing is a magical practice that connects us in a simple way to what is and what is not, helping us to better understand things and bringing us closer to the secret of beauty.‎
