Hypercode
designed by Roberto Sironi
About the collection
The collection is rooted in Roberto Sironi’s extensive research and documentation of inscriptions from both contemporary and prehistoric sources worldwide. By merging mythological symbols, ancient carvings, enigmatic glyphs, and raw urban graffiti, Sironi forges a new aesthetic language—one that reflects humanity’s innate desire to leave a lasting mark on its surroundings, creating a visual bridge across time and space.
While drawing inspiration from contemporary artistic expressions, Hypercode remains deeply connected to tradition. Historically, rugs have served as narrative artifacts, with warp and weft intertwining to recount the stories of civilizations, cultures, and individuals. Each piece in this collection conveys messages through symbols and languages that transcend immediate comprehension, inviting reflection and interpretation.
Crafted using the jacquard weaving technique on a traditional Indian handloom, master artisans seamlessly blend heritage with innovation, weaving intricate patterns that transform into visual codes. By layering solemn Greco-Roman inscriptions, enigmatic Japanese mythological symbols, spontaneous declarations of love, and the universally recognized smiley face, Hypercode turns each rug into a palimpsest of timeless narratives.
