Patricia Urquiola Turns Digital Art into Hand-Knotted Rugs
Watch your step! The trippy Pipeline Freeform by Interior Design Hall of Famer Patricia Urquiola for Milanese carpet-maker CC-Tapis creates uneven ground. As with Urquiola’s earlier Slinkie collection, Pipeline translates her digital artworks into hand-knotted rugs made by artisans in Nepal. Connected tubes of Himalayan wool emerge from the surface of the rugs, curving and overlapping in wild squiggles. The two wall hangings are the shaggiest and most transfixing, with bands of hand-dyed pink, purple, blue, and green yarn swirling haphazardly together. In either application, they’ll turn a room joyfully off-kilter.
