Illulian GEM C Wool and silk rug

Gem Rugs by Alain Gilles enriches the exclusive Limited Edition line and confirms the company’s focus on excellent designers and artists from all over the world.‎ This initial inspiration gave birth to a composition that behaves like a collage where two contrasting elements seem to discuss with each other and where the roundness of one element is highlighted by the sheer hardness and angularity of the other shape.‎ As in a collage, one element appears to be on top of the other, resulting in a unique design language with two different pile heights.‎ The collection consists of three different rug designs that are based on the same concept, but each offers its own possibilities and is available in three different color combinations.‎ The entire collection is hand-knotted in Nepal, using wool for the upper Obelix shape and silk for the larger lower element.‎ In GEM C, the electric blue of the obelisk meets the delicate sage green of the circle, creating a fascinating union between natural fresh and vibrant intense tones.‎
