Glimpse A Star-Studded Rug Collab With A Twist

Heard of plumasserie? It’s the centuries-old craft of hand-applying feathers that was once the stock-in-trade of haute couture houses. Maison Février, the last feather atelier located in the heart of Paris, teamed up with Milanese rug company Illulian and Argentine designer/architect Daniel Germani on a cross-disciplinary project to highlight the ebbing art. Plumaria is the outcome: an irregularly shaped rug in carved white Himalayan wool that becomes the canvas from which frothy feathers spring—the plumes all carefully selected and hand-applied by Maison Février artisans. The quills’ mélange of greens is accented by hints of red, resembling a living wall of tropical foliage. It’s a true tribute to nature and to craft.
