cc-tapis LAPSE 3 Rectangular handmade Himalayan Wool rug

LAPSE 3 is a handmade rectangular Himalayan wool rug.‎‎ COLOR COMBINATION: standard MATERIALS: Himalayan wool QUALITY: Oldie Tempore, Latin term denoting a temporary or provisional period.‎ The starting point for the creative process of a collection of hand-knotted rugs made of Himalayan wool evoking a temporarily interval of time in which the anatomy of each piece emerges and dissolves.‎ Crossing different drawing tools, Duccio Maria Gambi was inspired by the graphic structure that was generated by the oil pastels and the ballpoint pen.‎ Where the pastel stimulates a free, wild and imprecise sign, the ballpoint pen pushes towards a more precise, continuous and rational one.‎ Tempore fixes this translation and permanent deformation of the two opposite entities evolving in four dimensions.‎ Analyzing the relationship between natural and artificial, the Italian designer Duccio Maria Gambi evoked the process of disintegration and re-appropriation that nature constantly operates on the space designed and lived by man.‎ A relationship between movement and stillness, between growth and decay passing through different messages and consistencies living in a common permanent unit.‎
