PAS PERDUS





La salle des pas perdus (hall of the lost steps) is a French expression used in courthouses and public buildings for naming a large hall akin a waiting room that
gives space for pacing up and down. It dates back from the 19th century where it was conceived for courthouses or administrative buildings where people had to wait for the deliberation of a sentence.
Pas Perdus uses the idea of keeping your body busy while waiting, to give
nervousness a physical space of movement.
Inspired by natural textures, Pas Perdus attracts people to explore the rug or tapestry’s tactility. The color black, which absorbs light the best, is used in this carpet considering tactual perception and the anticipation of touch vision creates.
Pas Perdus invites you to feel what is more difficult to see.

The rug is hand tufted and developed at the Textiel Museum Tilburg and the horsehair is bundled at the Handweverij Tilburg with much care and attention. The jacquard weaving is done with great precision at EE labels.
