By Marie-Louise Hellgren for ASPLUND Collection 2018
Rug with pattern in hand tufted Tencel®. The Wedge carpet is the first piece that Hellgren presents together with ASPLUND Collection. It is hand tufted in the sustainable Tencel® fibre, available in two colours; Blue shades and Neutrals.
The Wedge carpet has a unique pattern inspired by wooden waste material turned into an indigo coloured floor that Hellgren exhibited at TENT London 2017. Geometric patterns have been a recurring item throughout her design and the Wedge carpet is not an exception. However there is a subtle twist to the pattern, if you look close you may find small spontaneous variations to the geometric pattern.
”Timeless design together with a sustainable and circular way of thinking have always been important for me. Every piece that I create should have a subtle presence without being intrusive. Finding a natural flow of light was essential when creating the Wedge carpet, the radiance from the Tencel fibre enhance that in an optimal way.” -Marie-Louise Hellgren
TENCEL® is a branded lyocell fibre of botanic origin, extracted from raw materials like eucalyptus. The TENCEL® fibre has many advantages in terms of sustainability Eco-friendly production, due to the closed loop system. The raw material wood stems from fast growing forest plantations without cultivating forestland suitable for agriculture.
