Large Uilas Rug by Mae Engelgeer

About the Item

Large Uilas 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: terra/ sand/ viola, lavanda/ blue lila/ vino, musgo/ banana/ blue green. The Uilas Rug is an extraordinary design using traditional Colombian materials and techniques to create a distinctively modern piece. Textile designer Mae Engelgeer created an abstract shape inspired by the landscapes of the Huila province, which is characterized by the contrast between the Rio Magdalena and the Tatacoa desert. Dry fique fibers are used to recreate the colors and shapes of the desert and the natural virgin wool symbolizes the lushness of the river valley. The result is a fascinating rug, 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 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.
