ANDARIA
Rectangular handmade bamboo fibre and wool rug
Andaria evokes a landscape seen from above, as if captured in a watercolor with superimposed transparencies. The design is composed of fragments and subtle variations, conveying the richness and diversity of a territory observed as a whole. A feeling of great softness emerges, reinforced by the delicacy of the nuances, made possible by the extremely precise tufting technique. The interplay of loops creates controlled irregularities that animate the surface and bring relief and texture, like natural landscapes made of strata, plains, hills, and valleys. Made of wool and bamboo fibers, Andaria reveals a subtle and ever-changing light. Lighter than Tencel, the bamboo fiber accentuates the nuances and relief effects with finesse, lending the whole an airy elegance. The treatment of volumes is restrained, in a quest for balance and refinement.

With this new collection designed by Sarah Gracia, Serge Lesage affirms its expertise in crafting exceptional, creative, elegant and refined pieces. Tela Alma is inspired by the journey of Olga de Amaral, drawing on her approach to weaving, color and her vision of creation, as a language linking artisanal heritage and contemporary expression. At the heart of Tela Alma, ancestral artisanal techniques are employed with subtlety and precision. The interplay of materials, gradients, and colors creates abstract patterns. These compositions suggest imaginary landscapes and terrains, translated through a textile language that is both sensitive and poetic. The color palette also echoes the work of Olga de Amaral. Gold, deep blue, and carmine red, emblematic colors of her works, make each piece vibrate with a new intensity. Venezuelan artist Claudia Lavegas is the featured artist in this collection. The Churuatas rug, adapted from her work, explores the architecture and geometry of indigenous Amazonian huts. This bold artistic choice reflects Sarah's desire to create a dialogue between art and design and echoes the work of Olga de Amaral, who celebrates the encounters between cultures. With Tela Alma, Serge Lesage reaffirms his deep attachment to craftsmanship, color, and handwork, and offers unique pieces that become true works of art.
