Jaipur Rugs SUKIMA - Charcoal Slate/Nichel Rectangular handmade wool rug

In Japanese, Sukima can be translated as the subtle intervals or gaps that permit space, light and air to exist quietly between forms.‎ Consequently, the rug draws inspiration from Musō-gōshi, a traditional Japanese lattice, whose vertical rhythm creates subtle intervals of openness, known as Sukima.‎ Inspiration for this rug was derived from the Suntory Museum of Art in Tokyo, where warm light filters through at a steady, softened pace through various structural layers.‎ Much like this exemplary piece of architecture, SUKIMA is a design that plays with light and contrast beautifully across its tactile surface.‎ The FACE collection explores the complex “faces” or façades of Kengo Kuma’s architectural works, highlighting their subtle and captivating fragments, textures, and transitions revealed through light, materials, and nature.‎ As a result, bold colours were not necessary: the collection favours natural, earthy tones—shades of brown, taupe, beige, and grey—enhanced by striking black and white graphic accents.‎ The rugs are available in several colour variations, offering great versatility for contemporary interiors.‎ The use of wool reflects Kengo Kuma’s appreciation for natural materials, while regenerated viscose provides the rigidity required to achieve his innovative three-dimensional designs, showcasing his distinctive exploration of materials.‎ The result is a contemporary aesthetic: a collection designed to last over time and become an integral part of interiors, enriching them for generations.‎ Further info from manufacturer on SUKIMA - Charcoal Slate/Nichel Jaipur Rugs
