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.

SOUFFLE
For Souffle, a haptic, hand-knotted rug,
Charlotte approached soil from a different angle and focused on the external elements which constantly transform earth’s surfaces. More specifically she aims to represent the impact of the wind; how it sometimes tenderly, other times with brutal violence disrupts what it meets on its path.
How it, both temporarily and permanently, within years, centuries or even seconds, rearranges the sceneries that surround us. When observing a landscape, it’s often captivating to imagine how the force of the wind was the source for its outlook.
However, Souffle is most of all inspired by gentle effects of the wind, even if it needs ages before these effects become visible.
Charlotte focused on how the wind reorganizes the sand of dunes, how it makes grasses and cane dance and a cornfield ripple. She remembered how it, gradually, leaves marks on stones and (re-)defines rock formations through centuries of erosion. She then translated its nuances and its beauty into a unique textile landscape, composed of bamboo silk and linen, drawing lines which could be the wind’s conclusion.
Edition: -
Materials: 50% handspun Linen, 50% handspun Bamboo silk
Manufacturing: Handknot / Knots: 155.000 /m2

IMPRESSIONS
PAYSAGE 1 & PAYSAGE 2
Inspired by a study on the color grey, the Impression collection, from which Paysage 1 is part, plays with the theme of density to create color neutral landscapes. Cold shapes, formed with different thick-nesses of black and white wool yarns, create distinct graphical elements against a warm earthy back-ground consisting of grey wool and linen.
A mist covers the landscape of Paysage 1, which is created with soft grey tones in natural silk. The combination of these color variations linked to tactile sensations allows us to experience color in different ways.
The spectator can imagine a house, fields, a road, but is free to link visual memories towards the sce-nery of the rugs. This activates the object/user relation and allows a personal interaction.
Each rug is hand tufted in collaboration with Serge Lesage.
Edition: -
Materials: natural wool, linen and viscose
Manufacturing: Handtufted
Size: 170/ 240 cm & 200/300 cm

GLYPHE
A reinterpreted landscape
Is a desert landscape inspired rug made entirely from linen yarns and manufactured by hand in Latvia. The colors, extracted from the original scenery, are chosen to evoke an earthy sensation and contrast with the black and embossed graphical shapes; clear drawings against a floating background.
The original scenery was reinterpreted in a graphical arrangement by extracting the colored shapes and placing them into a new constellation. Black shapes float around the main image and can be perceived as free standing characters and not as the shadows of the main image, to which they actually belong. This allows a free perception of shape and color without the interference of a preconceived image. It presents an altered shaped reality evoking a variety of interpretations and associations. A different look on the individual elements that create an image.
