ATOM4320 hand knotted rug by Laroque Studio Hand knotted in Nepal Dimensions: 130 x 160cm Materials: 100% ECONYL yarn 100?knots?/?sq inch Think of ATOM4320 as a close-up look. So close that the image is blurry and all we can see are different atoms connected with one another. ATOM4320 carpet became the finalist of the GUILTLESSPLASTIC project launched by Rossana Orlandi, with the aims to raise awareness about the reusing and recycling of plastic. LAROQUE ST is a journey to a new discovery. The essence of our studio lies in constant experimentation with high-quality materials, exquisite artisanal craftsmanship and techniques. We look for elusive connections and new interpretations - we find new meanings and tell a story. The fluidity of our designs allows for any change in colors, materials, the scale of a pattern, the size and shape of the final product. With every new color or a new weaving technique begins a new journey. Knot by knot. It feels like a meditation. And yet this very complex process of carpet-weaving requires extremely high-skilled level of craftsmanship. The pile height can vary. A knot of silk may be found right next to a knot of wool. A palette of colors is infinite. Katy Pititskaya a founder & creative director of Laroque St*. Katy is an interior and product designer based in Moscow and Milan.
