Peccato originale

This rug reinterprets the theme of Original Sin with Fornasetti’s characteristic lightness, offering a decorative piece that captivates the eye through a perfect balance of nature and abstraction. 
The fluid forms of the serpent intertwine across an emerald-green field, highlighting the iconic detail of the red apple and the graceful sinuosity of the graphic lines. A visual dialogue of temptation and irony transforms this mythological tale into a bold and sophisticated design element. 
Proudly hand-knotted in Nepal from a blend of Merino wool, New Zealand wool, and silk, the rug features silk threads strategically added in select areas to give the apple and other details a subtle brilliance, enhancing the motif’s depth and visual impact.
