Serge LESAGE CHURUATAS Round handmade wool rug

A key piece in the Tela Alma collection, Churuatas is a remarkably fine rug, born from the collaboration between the Serge Lesage fashion house and Venezuelan artist Claudia Lavegas.‎ It translates one of her emblematic works into textile form, inspired by the circular indigenous huts the artist discovered in the Amazonian village of Mayupa.‎ Through the circle, the artist also celebrates a universal symbol of perfection and eternity.‎ The rug's design echoes the radial structure of these traditional architectures, unfolding precise lines from the center to the periphery.‎ This circular motif was created using a layering of gradients and textures that add volume.‎ Both graphic and organic, it creates a sense of movement and depth, while elegantly structuring the space.‎ The palette of natural and golden hues subtly interacts with the light, revealing the richness of the material and the finesse of its execution.‎ Every detail testifies to the high level of technical skill employed by Serge Lesage in creating this complex piece, where reliefs and textures are worked with great precision.‎ At the crossroads of art and craft, Churuatas stands out as a unique and timeless piece, designed to inhabit interiors and bring them depth, emotion, and character.‎ Our sincere thanks to Claudia Lavegas and to the Wagner Gallery, which represents her.‎ This rug is adapted from a work of art and can only be made in a round shape and respecting the colors desired by the artist.‎ Composition : 55% Semi-combed New Zealand Wool and 45% bamboo viscose Quality : Hand tufted 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.‎ Further info from manufacturer on CHURUATAS Serge LESAGE
