Deirdre Dyson
STACCATO
Hand knotted rug in wool and silk
STACCATO is an hand knotted rug in wool and silk. Goodweave certified.
‘Staccato’, “I wanted a soft neutral carpet but with a crisp, edgy feel, which I manged to create using thin black lines. I was imagining cutting paper with scissors at the time,” explains Dyson. The double-size sample, measuring 2.35m x 3.40m demonstrates the large-scale possibilities of a Deirdre Dyson carpet.
Deirdre has injected a totally fresh dimension into her 2023 collection, with ten new designs that celebrate the striking effect created by interplaying angles and linear shapes. Her hand sketches were transposed with design technician Nichola into computer designs, Deirdre cleverly applying her eye for colour to turn them into designs that produce different illusions. Such as, a three dimensional or transparent appearance, or to give a sense of depth and distance. All in all, it’s a collection that Ancient Greek pioneers of trigonometry would be delighted by – as it artistically brings their theories to life!
