Belladonna hand knotted Carpet by Laroque Studio

About the Item

Belladonna hand knotted carpet by Laroque Studio Dimensions: 130x105 cm Materials: wool Quality: 500.000 dots It would be nearly impossible to name just one idea that inspired collection 00. It started off with the periodic table of elements. I loved how this simple and yet well-classified structure arranges chemical elements with similar chemical behaviors into groups. Every element is like a code. That comparison instantly brought me back to our modern digital world - where letters and words are flying across borders. Invisible science but very precise. Somehow these two concepts merged into one. Rainbow, being a phenomenon, an optical illusion of light in water droplets not only brings something very poetic but also shows us how something magical can arise when two very different elements meet together. LAROQUE ST is a journey to a new discovery. The essence of our studio lies in constant experimentation with high-quality materials, exquisite artisanal craftsmanship and techniques. We look for elusive connections and new interpretations - we find new meanings and tell a story. The fluidity of our designs allows for any change in colors, materials, the scale of a pattern, the size and shape of the final product. With every new color or a new weaving technique begins a new journey. Knot by knot. It feels like a meditation. And yet this very complex process of carpet-weaving requires extremely high-skilled level of craftsmanship. The pile height can vary. A knot of silk may be found right next to a knot of wool. A palette of colors is infinite. Katy Pititskaya a founder & creative director of Laroque St*. Katy is an interior and product designer based in Moscow and Milan.

She is curious about the relationships we make with objects from our everyday life, through contrasts and contradictions. Traditions evolve. They adapt to the com - plexity of today. We expect excellence. We still hand-dye our yarns. Weigh a quanti - ty of a pigment in grams. Draw scales by hand. Then knot by knot very high-skilled craftsmen weave a carpet. They carve it. And wash it. It’s beautiful. We love it. All our carpets are meticulously hand knotted in Nepal.
