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% New Zealand 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.

Improvisation Collection

Taking Jazz as a source of inspiration, Improvisation emerges from the spontaneity of weaving; the weft is the melody and the warp is the improvised solos. Between colours and rhythms, the tapestry explodes as the codes create new forms.

The piece, designed by Gian Padilla, is a nod to the ancient work of weaving where women wove without a script or intention of representation; they experimented and created spontaneous pieces with an innate sensitivity.
