About the Item
Large Uilas Noche rug by Mae Engelgeer
Materials: 100% Fique fibers from Furcraea leaves.
Technique: Natural fibers. Hand-woven in Colombia.
Dimensions: W 260 x L 330 cm
Available in colors: blush/black/gold cooper, cloud/black/cooper green.
The Uilas Noche Rug is an extraordinary design using traditional Colombian materials and techniques to create a modern jewel. Like the Uilas Rugs, this series is created by designer Mae Engelgeer who was inspired for this edition by the stories about the legendary gold country "El Dorado" and Colombia’s night sky: black dyed fique fibers and natural virgin wool are interspersed with shiny metal threads in copper, silver, and gold. In contrast to the coarse, dark natural fibers, the shimmering yarns give the rug its lush effect. The design is available in three sizes that will add a fascinating texture to any room.
Each rug is woven by hand in production facilities in the provinces Santander and Boyacá. In both regions exists a long tradition of working with fibers that are made from the leaves of the fique plant. For this rug, our artesanos and artesanos combine these natural fibers with dyed wool threads and fine metal threads to create an asymmetrical piece. The preparation of the raw materials alone takes up to five days and the weaving and braiding of the rug take between 20 to 30 days, depending on the size of the final rug.
Dutch designer Mae Engelgeer felt always drawn to textiles – from her school days through her studies at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute to her Masters in applied art at the Sandberg Instituut. Since opening her studio in 2013, she has been driven by her interest in traditional craft techniques. Using yarns, colors, patterns, and fabrics, she pushes the boundaries of textile production to adapt old techniques for the modern-day. Mae Engelgeer’s signature style combines subtle color palettes, patterns, and linear elements.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
