Butterfly Tapestry reinterprets one of Lucia Eames most iconic symbols in a smaller format, conceived as a textile artwork. 

Handwoven in kilim using hand-spun Afghan wool, the design plays with variations in density to reveal the inner structure of the weave, subtly drawing the butterfly form. This approach captures the texture and sensitivity of the original collage, resulting in a nuanced and tactile surface. 

Designed as a ready-to-hang piece, it includes a wall hanging system that allows for easy integration into a variety of spaces, bringing an artistic and versatile presence.

Fibers

100% Afghan Wool

Afghan wool comes from sheep grazed high in the mountains of Afghanistan. Naturally corrugated, it is a very resistant material with a rough touch. Due to the curl of the wool and the irregularity in the yarn, when weaving it it achieves an aged and unique look.

Technique

Hand loomed Kilim

Manual weaving on a vertical or horizontal loom that plays with the intersection between weft and warp.

It is characterized by being thin, hairless and with geometric motifs. High-density rugs, durable and resistant, even when they are very light rugs.

Cleaning and care

Tips

Vacuum frequently.

Clean stains with the appropriate solution before they dry.

Take the rug to specialized dry cleaners, if necessary.
