Rovine classiche

The rigor of perspective meets the playful irony of Fornasetti’s trompe-l’œil in a rug of striking theatrical impact. Designed as a dialogue between art and architecture, this piece transcends its functional role to become a three-dimensional stage set. The vestiges of antiquity emerge with the precise, incisive detail characteristic of Fornasetti, inviting the eye to wander among columns and fragments of a glorious past. 
Proudly hand-knotted in Nepal from 100% New Zealand wool at an exceptionally high quality, the rug is crafted in a freeform shape that follows the contours of the design, with no borders, allowing the scene to unfold organically across the floor.
