To celebrate craftsmanship, renowned studio glass artist Dale Chihuly has collaborated with The Rug Company on a second collection, Masterpieces II.
Dale Chihuly is an American artist who revolutionised the studio glass movement and elevated perceptions of the glass medium.
Known for ambitious architectural installations in cities, museums, and gardens worldwide, Chihuly utilises various media to realise his creative vision, including glass, paint, charcoal, neon, ice, and Polyvitro.
The first glass artist to collaborate with The Rug Company, Chihuly’s genius, mysterious, and magical designs can transform any room or space they grace.
Inspired by Chihuly’s glass oeuvre, these four rugs challenge the notion of textile craft by capturing glasswork’s fluidity, energy and translucency through wool and silk.
His bold, enticing and immersive artworks have invigorated the world’s greatest institutions, famed streets and ornate gardens with a distinct otherworldliness.
This collaboration celebrates a mutual devotion to artisanal techniques, starting with Chihuly and his team of glassblowers in Seattle and finishing with The Rug Company’s master weavers in Kathmandu, Nepal.
