The collaboration with the French designer matali crasset and NODUS carries on:
Big Leaf, the new rug designed for Nodus Limited Edition is in the centre of the installation
“le blobterre de matali”, to be discovered since October at the Centre Pompidou,
the Paris “Beaubourg”.
“In the blobterre, the rug lies in the heart of a dome shaped sprout, called extratoof.
Big Leaf is like a circle of enormous leaves that give the rug a jagged profile.
It reminds a bed of oversized leaves of hand knotted wool.
An earth colored rib, made of hand twisted cotton fringes, completes each leaf.
The ribs extend beyond the border of the rug so as to float in the air
and their ends form the tufts of wool that creep all around: the rug becomes a space.
These tufts, attached to the extraroof structure,
spread the special fragrance created to mark this new green area.
First of all we are encouraged to go around the rug and discover the four essences forming the scent of the blobterre: penetrating then into the carpet and seating on it,
we can appreciate the sweetness of the perfume, as the final bouquet recomposes”
matali crasset
The blobterre of matali crasset is a fiction, an area of freedom. It’s a representation of a different world with its logic, smells, noises and natural elements in which you can explore, imagine, create.
A primitive life experience that invites you to wonder, to experiment different practices and to imagine different ways of living, struggling to change the logics that govern the world, inventing new ones with imaginative elements. The Big Leaf rug is one of these elements.
