Eileen Gray Faubourg Rug

Based on a gouache by Eileen Gray from the 1920s, Faubourg is the epitome of minimalism: set against a square, cream background, three simple black lines create an abstract pattern. Two curved lines provide a reference to Eileen Gray's furniture designs – for example, to the iconic Adjustable Table E1027 – in which circles and curves are recurring motifs. An angled line running along one edge of the rug forms an effective contrast to the circular motif. The name of the Faubourg Rug was inspired by the location of Gray's studio on Rue de Faubourg St. Honoré in Paris. The textile artworks, woven with 80 knots per square inch from 100% hand-spun New Zealand virgin wool, are easy to clean and suitable for allergy sufferers. Virgin wool is biodegradable and a renewable resource. The colour pigments are environmentally friendly and tested according to OEKO-TEX® standard 100.
