Inspired by the artwork of Eduardo Chillida, this indoor rug pays tribute to the collage Gravitación Tinta 1996.
The Gravitaciones series were not simple overlapping paper cut-outs, but relief sculptures. Chillida playfully took the concept of gravitating almost to the limit, because the paper weighed so little. By suspending different types of paper he achieved a dramatic effect, exerting a new tension in the way the paper fragments overlapped or intercalated, in turn creating spaces of light and shadow between them.
This tension was our prime focus in transforming his work into a rug. Playing with ancestral techniques, fibers and different heights, the suspension that Chillida was looking for has been reflected.
The artistic work of Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002) is currently one of the leading exponents of the plastic arts of the second half of the 20th century.
The Chillida collection was created to pay tribute to a chronological selection of his pictorial works.
